While growing up in New Jersey, he got hooked on comic books at an early age, eventually becoming a habitual user and then a junkie.

Pete is currently sitting on the beach in southern California scribbling film adaptations of several best selling novels and preparing to begin the big screen version of everyone's favorite redhaired occultist, Lori Lovecraft.
