Born in Northern California, Pete originally moved south to pursue acting and film before transitioning to photography. Since then, his global travels have been shaping his eye and helping him understand how his photography changes to embrace a story. These experiences blend with the familiar cadence of the ocean to help Pete capture life’s natural motion in a still image without losing the ebb and flow of that energy. Pete’s photographs move the viewer into the moment, allowing the story within the frame to expand and play out as though it were actually in motion.

Combining art with this new social media commerce Pete has been able to work on international campaigns for brands such as Leica, Four Seasons, The Dorchester Collection, Acura, Toyota, LuluLemon, GAP, Birdwell, SKYY Vodka, Pacifico, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Baume & Mercier, and HODINKEE.

Pete and his work have been featured by the likes of GQ, The Getty Museum, Travel + Leisure, ABC's Nightline, Good Morning America, Elle Magazine, InStyle, Details Magazine, NY Times, and the Los Angeles Times.

When he’s not running to catch a flight he can be found enjoying Southern California life with his wife and 2 kids.
