Pete began volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters in 2010 as an officer on the Governance Board of Trustees and a dedicated mentor to his Little Brother Daniel. In 2022, Pete and Daniel were named the agency’s Big and Little of the Year because of their strong bond that exemplified the BBBS mission. Pete played an integral role in planning the 1st Annual FORE!
