Computer Science from University of Houston, 1982, and attended graduate school in Computer Science at UT Austin before switching to law.

Pehr has prepared and prosecuted patents in diverse technologies including data communication, data base management systems, data compression, integrated circuit testing, computer architecture, computer printer technology, smart cards, oil-field data modeling, oil-field data acquisition, and even a baby cushion/diaper changing pad (U.S. Patent. 5,551,108).

Pehr preceded his career in law with several years as a computer scientist at Chemshare Corporation (a process simulation software company) and Schlumberger, and has experience programming in C, Lisp, FORTRAN, Pascal, and various Assembler Languages.
