Peter was raised outside a farm town, pop. 320, where a smalltime gangster introduced him to Jesus Christ Superstar. Thence began an interest in the dramatic arts. New York City was the next stop where Peter went to MTV, making promos and directing anything from short animations to half hour shows (check out Way USA on YouTube – punk rock travelogue at its best).
Commercials and music videos followed, including Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock, RUN DMC, De La Soul, Salt n’ Pepa (Push It), Suicidal Tendencies and more. The Adventures Of Pete and Pete was Peter’s first television series and many odd cable productions followed, notably Strangers with Candy with Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello. The Nickelodeon movie Cry Baby Lane happened - which was weird but worth a Google. Otherwise he had a band, put out a CD, which he still has a surplus of and started a family.
Hollywood called so Peter went to Vancouver. Hours, half-hours, webisodes, MOWs, pilots, scripts and even a cooking show followed. Peter studied fine arts in college and came to directing from a visual perspective (alt comic books are a particular love); but it’s working with actors, from Broadway to Hollywood to the comedy clubs of our glorious land that drives Peter’s passion for storytelling.
Peter lives in Los Angeles, loves New York, walks his dog, rides a bike and writes this biography awkwardly in the third-person.
