Smith started curling in 1979. He plays in second position and is right-handed.[1] He has won many prizes in his career, but never featured on the Winter Olympics medal podium. Peter Smith was the tallest male curler at the 2010 Winter Olympics at 6"2. He is nicknamed "Pistol Pete" for his notable accuracy.[2]

He is the brother of curler David Smith and the uncle of curlers Kyle Smith and Cameron Smith.[2][3]
