Pete, author of three books, Carving Caricature Heads & Faces, Carving Caricature Figures from Scratch and Carving Caricature Busts, is a retired Operating Engineer, living in Gardner, Massachusetts. He began carving caricatures in 1973. In 1978 he started teaching carving in the adult education system in the city of Fitchburg, MA. In 1990 he started showing his caricatures at woodcarving shows, which led to requests to teach seminars throughout this country and Australia.

Pete was elected to the CCA in 1994.

Pete is available for a limited number of seminars each year. He does not judge exhibits or shows. His carvings are available for sale.
