Uncle John’s old Gibson is what got things started. Over 30 years and a few dozen guitars, keyboards, computers and assorted real and virtual instruments later, the itch is still there. His widely varied resumé includes church organist, guitar and piano teacher, composer for jingles, films, and internet-based productions/videos, lead vocalist, and performer on acoustic and electric guitar and keys. Pete's also in demand as a session player, arranger and producer for recordings and clients of all kinds, a lot of which are done via FTP/broadband these days. He’s also got decent chops on bass (upright and electric), harmonica, mandolin (OK...he’s no Bill Monroe), and french horn (no kidding). Pete regularly performs a solo acoustic act at some of the biggest resorts in the midwest, playing a mix of clever, off-the-beaten-path covers and originals. He's played with and/or opened for such diverse artists as CeCe Peniston, Humble Pie, The Romantics, Rick Derringer, Edwin McCain, Aaron Lewis (Staind), Hootie & The Blowfish and more.  In his spare time, he golfs, skis, mountain bikes and swims in Lake Michigan whenever it’s over 50 degrees.

A renewed purpose has begun. No chains, no associations, no management, no rules. I'm my own man now, in my third Renaissance Period, fired up, inspired and ready 2 go. I got 5 years realistically, 9 years if I'm blessed 2 so it. Please take the time 2 be my friend here and take this journey with me. Strap in.
