Currently an Advertising Lecturer at Boston University, Pete’s career spans 20+ years working on national and global brands including ESPN, Volkswagen, McDonald’s, JetBlue, and Bank of America. His work has been honored by every major award show in the world. He’s won more than 80 New England Hatch Awards including Best of Show two years in a row.
When he’s not writing ads or teaching, you can probably find him at home with his wife, four children, and dog, or out at any number of hockey rinks across the Greater Boston area struggling to keep up with people half his age.
