A proud graduate of Rutgers University, Coach Pete began his career as an educator in Newark New Jersey. He officially became "Coach Pete" when he moved on to work for a nonprofit for more than 10 years. During this time, he partnered with urban schools to develop impactful recess and after-school programs that empower children and encourage active play.
Coach Pete has dedicated over a decade to working with children, creating programs that foster growth, health, and fun. As a father to a 4-year-old, he understands the importance of engaging activities for young minds and bodies. Drawing from his experience in education, fatherhood, and his passion for helping children develop holistically, Coach Pete's program incorporates elements of physical and occupational therapy to support children's overall well-being.
