Pete is a seventh-generation Floridian. He was born in Gainesville and spent his childhood there until his family moved to Clearwater, where he attended high school. He continued his education at Florida State University, graduating in 1993 with a B.S. in Political Science and Communications.
His career in technical recruiting began immediately after, and he went on to serve in leadership roles for two Fortune 500 companies over the next decade. Pete founded 4 Corner in 2005 to pursue his dream of doing business in a flexible, agile, and personal way while building a company that prioritizes people over processes.
In the years since, 4 Corner, Resources, the top-rated staffing company headquartered in Central Florida since 2016, has won numerous awards, being named to Forbes’ Best Recruiting Firms in America, America’s Best Staffing Firms, The Seminole 100, and The Golden 100.
Pete recently created the definitive job search guide for young professionals, Get Hired In 30 Days. He hosts the Hire Calling podcast and is blazing new trails in recruitment marketing with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
On a personal note, Pete and his college sweetheart, Jennifer, live in Gotha, FL, where they are raising four children: Kate, Cole, Xander, and Mitchell. When he isn’t busy with 4 Corner and recording podcasts (with his dogs in the background!), you can probably find Pete traveling with his family, or sharing his sales, marketing, recruiting, and AI thought leadership as a highly sought-after speaker.
