But he’s not just whistling in the wind—his clients consider him a true advisor and a member of their corporate families. They value his experience with specialized audits as well as his ability to coordinate complex projects. When Pete is not working on complex projects, he and his wife, Kelli, enjoy hiking, running, and camping – just about anything outdoors.
