Quote on a scenic background of a cave with a flowing river: "Strategy is a creative act. Strategy is a creative artifact."
  • “Pete is a fantastic visionary and creative wonk. Brand exercises often end up in the doldrums, but Pete’s work ended up being actionable from day one. He got our vision like he was one of our team members.”

    - M.H.

  • “Pete's business acumen coupled with his creative and strategic approach to branding produced results which were immediate and embraced by all audience groups … he’s truly a master of prose, writing in a style which is inspiring, connective, and frankly a work of art.”

    - J.B.

  • “Pete joins a list of ‘my fave people to work with,’ not just because he’s a seriously fun guy, but because he’s incredibly smart and always making clients and colleagues realize things they never thought before.”

    - B.B.

  • "Pete is a master storyteller. Part consultant, part creative director, and part copywriter, he skillfully unites business, brand, and customers through compelling messages and experiences. Pete is a star."

    - M.M.

  • “Pete understands business realities and connects the creative tangibly to the business objective through an engaging, storytelling style. If I was going to start an agency, Pete would be one of the first I call.”

    - S.L.

About Pete

A man wearing a white hockey jersey with green and black accents, black hockey pants, and a black helmet with a face cage, standing on an outdoor ice rink holding a hockey stick. In the background, other players are practicing on the ice, and mountains with snow and trees with fall foliage are visible.

I got around plenty as a radio and television writer on deadline, made the leap to digital as an editorial lead and then as a brand lead. Today, I develop strategy and kick down creative for businesses and brands.

Strategy and execution run up and down a ladder, and my work lands on every rung – from identity systems right down to how it expresses itself in a CTA button or a phone tree.

With that, my work ranges anywhere from branding and messaging to content strategy and copywriting. You’ll find campaigns and lots more in between.

Cooking, reading, riding, and knocking around hockey pucks in Seattle’s Kraken Hockey League keep me stoked.
