Career Beginnings

Right after university, Pete joined the investment bank Bear Stearns, as an equity capital markets analyst. Hewas also commissioned as a reserve infantry officer into the US Army National Guard, and a year late was called out for a mission to Cuba, meaning that he would need to leave his position at the investment bank.

Quite impressive, don’t you think?

Following his return from Iraq, Pete was again ready to find a place for himself in the corporate world; he joined the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, then after a couple of years he left the post and accepted the offer from Vets For Freedom to work as the executive director.
