For Pete's Sake

The world is yours!

About Me

For starters, my name is Pete. I was originally born in Michigan, but was raised in the wonderful state of Maine. After high school, I moved back to Michigan because this is pretty much where all my extended family lives. I have just rapped up a long stint in college and finally received my bachelors degree. I'm excited to finally be joining the "real world". My hobbies included music (I play guitar and some piano), computers, kayaking and going "Upta camp" (Justin VT).


My Interests

  • Guitar - I really enjoy playing music in my spare time. I've been strumming six strings since 1995 and have amassed a pretty decent collection I might say.
  • Piano - I was classically trained, but after five years of lessons, barely touched the instrument until fairly recently. Nowadays I plunk around every now and then. My goal is to someday own one of those acoustic baby grands that also serve as digital pianos.
  • Kayaking - Nothing too extreme here, just paddling on the water. It's relaxing and makes for good exercise.
  • Computers - This will likely be my livelihood someday. I spend a good deal of time web surfing and just messing around.
  • I'd like to meet:
