Personal life
Born in the United States to a Danish mother and Slovenian father,[19] Peterlin holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Denmark, which eliminated the need to secure a work permit.[20][21] His mother Anne moved from Denmark to the United States to attend the University of San Francisco on a tennis scholarship.[22] Peterlin's brother Sebastian is a rower at Stanford University.[23]
