As a long-distance runner, Pete knows the importance of hard work and endurance in the face of difficult circumstances. His training has taught him that change is possible through consistent effort, even in the face of adversity.

Over the years, Pete has raced in events across the city with his special needs daughter, Piper, who was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome at 18 months old. Through those experiences, he has met fellow Kansas Citians who share his passion and love for the city.

Pete plans to bring this same steadfast dedication to the people of Kansas City and work toward meaningful change through his seat on the City Council.

Prior to his real estate career, Peter worked at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway as a conductor and member of Local 1532. Peter attended Maple Woods Community College and ran cross country and track for UMKC.
