<aside> 👋 Hi there!

I'm Pete. I'm the COO and co-founder of Swoop. I started Swoop in 2018 with a few friends when we noticed how fragmented and dated the ground transportation industry was. Fast-forward to today, Swoop is ventured-backed by the likes of Signia Venture Parters, South Park Commons, 122 West Ventures, former Uber CPO Manik Gupta, among others. We're building software to help mom-and-pop transportation companies excel in a modern world.

Prior to starting Swoop, I was at Microsoft for five years where I helped their online stores expand internationally through various verticals such as enterprise, education and small business. I spent most of my twenties working in China, Australia, Singapore and throughout Europe.

I grew up in Los Angeles, going to El Segundo High School followed by Chapman University where I played basketball and studied business management and entrepreneurship. However, much of my desire to become an entrepreneur stems from my parents who have successfully run small businesses for 40+ years. My Mother started and sold multiple businesses and is a marketing consultant and my Father was the Founder/CEO of a Graphic Design company where he designed the New England Patriots logo (he likes to say that they started winning Super Bowls because of the logo redesign).

You can reach me via email, Twitter or LinkedIn. I'm generally pretty responsive.
