This began during his college years when, as one of Fraternity Management Group’s first employees, he helped manage capital campaigns and alumni relations initiatives.

He is Founder and Managing Director of NPcatalyst LLC, which provides philanthropic connections and solutions to businesses and charities throughout the country. He is executive director of Pathways to Aviation, which recently expanded internationally due, in part, to a career readiness certification process Pete designed. He’s also Director of Development of the F C Cancer Foundation, where he’s also co-manager of its Fxck Cancer Endurance Club. Pete has a strong passion for creating opportunities and connections for anyone seeking career and philanthropic goals. He serves on several non-profit boards and councils, serving as an executive officer at My Hometown Heroes, Sierra Military Hospitality Services, U of A’s SierraCats Alumni Chapter, and Circle of Change Leadership.
