Since this success, he's gone on to complete over 60 plays, many of which are available for free on his website. In 2010, after being performed at Crash Test, his comedy The Goon was published in an anthology of 10 minute plays and has now been produced over 50 times and been adapted into a US web-series. He has gone on to win 25 national/international awards and been produced in Edinburgh Fringe and on the West End.Pete also writes articles for a range of media sources, websites and magazines, including www.newmatilda.com, the Sydney Morning Herald, Greenpeace Australia Pacific, Empower Mag, Writers Beat and more.

Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Community College employs him to teach a Creative Writing course, as well as Playwriting and Novel Writing Workshops.Being inept at acting, Pete's performing background has been limited to playing in funk and rock bands. He plays bass (well!), guitar (averagely) and piano (inconsistently). He played bass for funk/folk trio Flow and lead guitar for rock outfit Start Select, but his real dream is to master Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata Movement III before he goes deaf.When not dabbling in the creative arts, Pete is a massage therapist.Involvement in Crash Test DramaPete has been involved as a writer in each season of Crash Test Drama since its arrival in Sydney.Coordinator Crash Test Drama - 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
