Bio
Pete started out building static HTML web sites for fun when he was in high school. He quickly realized the advantages of dynamic web sites, and learned PERL, using text files as databases. A few months later pete was introduced to Allaire ColdFusion, and databases. After seeing the advantages that ColdFusion offered, pete discarded Perl, and became an expert in ColdFusion.
Pete was the lead author of a nationally distributed book on ColdFusion titled The ColdFusion MX Developers Cookbook (SAMs Publishing), which was in bookstores circa 2003.
In 2006 Pete started his own company called Foundeo Inc. which specializes in Web Consulting, and Products for ColdFusion Developers.
