They were actors who met while being a part of a television show and Ashley still acts, appearing in the TV show “Heroes.” Matt has been teaching English at Sierra Canyon School for five years. Pete says he’s proud of how hard his dad worked to get his degree and start a second career and that his mom has always been both he and his dad’s “rock.” His parents are behind Pete 100% in his baseball career, saying they hope he continues to enjoy it and “as long as he’s having fun and doing something he loves”, there’s nothing better.

Key Quote: Speaking both about his development on and off the field, Pete said “I’ve been blessed to have developed like I have and, again, it’s because of my friends, my family, my coaches and the guys that I’m out here right now; they’ve all helped me get to where I’m at right now.”

Social Media: Tweets are largely composed of support for his former teammates, other athletes, and friends.

Off-the-Ice: Pete looks at the bigger picture beyond baseball, saying “what I’m most happy about the opportunities I’ve gotten through baseball. I feel like I’ve got to learn a lot about life, I got to learn a lot about people and I’ve got to experience other countries.”
