Pete was born at the foot of the Blue Mountains, in a time known as the decade of pivotal change.

He grew up in the Hawkesbury region of NSW, before relocating to the Upper Hunter with his wife and daughter.

He is a sports fan and a Penrith Panthers tragic and has a passion for commentating games of football.

Pete loves spending time with his wife, (the leader of the opposition), his children, grandkids and with good friends, enjoying life.

He loves to sing as he goes about his day, which he isn’t really any good at and it annoys his fellow workers.

He is outgoing and always has a happy outlook on life.

All this is why Pete is endearing to all.
