He moved to Nashville in 1997 to get closer to his musical inspirations, returning to his hometown of Santa Rosa in 2002. Currently, he goes back-and-forth to and from Nashville, working on a variety of creative projects in the music and movie industries.

While PETE is best known as a country artist, he has written and produced original songs for over 70 movies and television shows, including Meet the Parents, Matchstick Men, Next Friday, The Simpsons, Judging Amy and CSI: Miami.

PETE won the prestigious DisCovery Award by Robert K. Oermann in Music Row Magazine in 2006. His ode to his hometown, "Santa Rosa", first played on the radio in November 2006 and continues to get extensive airplay on radio stations all along the west coast.
