Hi, My name is Peter, but my friends call me Pete, or Pedro, or hey man.

I grew up in Oak Park Il., just West of Chicago and home to Frank Lloyd Wright, Ernest Hemingway, and Betty White.

Betty White was a national treasure.

Frank Loyd Wright was a genius but an asshole.

And Hemingway called Oak Park, “a town of wide lawns and narrow minds”, and never wrote about Oak Park and never came back.

I also left but I come back all the time. I love Oak Park and can talk about it for hours and hours and hours, which if you ask my wife, is in the top 5 of my 1,000 most annoying qualities. 

While I’m here, If you ever find yourself in Oak Park, be sure to stop into Johnnie’s on North Avenue for an Italian Beef Sandwich so good it’s featured in The Bear.

Also make sure you bring cash.

If you try paying with your phone, the guy behind the register will 100% punch you in the face. 

That's the important stuff, now the business stuff: I've worked as a full-time person and a freelance person at many amazing places, for many amazing brands. I like to think I’m a multi-platform storyteller, capable of strategic creative that strengthens brands. I like this work. I like when what we do is good, and does what it's intended to do for the people, companies & brands we are charged with helping.

Now the uncomfortable braggy stuff:
My work has been recognized at every major industry award show. It includes an Emmy-winning anti-opioid PSA, a Werner Herzog–directed documentary campaign for AT&T the The New York Times called “a stunning meditation on forgiveness,” and a Tide commercial that Fast Company named one of the 10 best Super Bowl commercials of the modern era. Oh, and I have a wife and 2 kids and an idiotic dog.

That's about it.

Also, Johnnies doesn't deliver, so here’s the address if you need it:

7500 W North Ave, Elmwood Park, IL 60707. Remember: CASH ONLY.

:)

A man and a woman are in a bright home office or studio. The man is working on a computer at a cluttered desk, and the woman is leaning on the man's leg, wearing a black and white striped knit cardigan. The desk is filled with books and office supplies. The room has a window with sunlight, framed art on the wall, and a white door in the background.

*Also I live in LA now, so I get cold when it’s in the low 70’s.
