Pete started visiting Port Townsend and Jefferson County in 1973 and made many visits prior to moving here permanently in 1980. He has been sailing, cruising the west coast since the age of 4 and accumulated almost 70 thousand miles of sea time by age 20, in every size and or class of vessel. The sense of opportunity here in the marine trades was like no other place on the west coast. As a young entrepreneur he restarted the Port Townsend Foundry in 1981-82 after doing some research about its history and its founding in 1883, it has been operating ever since, building a worldwide audience and reputation.  Developing new products and diversifying the offerings has allowed the company to ride out most of the economic down turns. Devoted to community he and his wife also served over 18 years in Fire and EMS as volunteers. Pete is active on the Port Townsend Marine Trades Association, Jefferson County Historical Society, and EDC Team Jefferson boards, and in youth sail training with the Schooner Martha Foundation to share the passion and marine culture.
