About this episode
Friends, it's not often that we get to chat with someone as diverse in interests and experiences as our guest on today's episode. We're in for a real treat as we sit down with Pete, a seasoned Air Force pilot, tennis enthusiast, and trivia whizz! Pete walks us through the intricate dynamics of his family's tennis tournaments where he plays alongside his father and daughter, proving that love for the game transcends generations. Pete’s story pivots from Air Force pilot (Tom Cruise is jealous) to his job as a Pilot flying 787's, to family tennis matches. He opens up about the profound impact of 9/11 on his career and the airline industry and delves into the rewarding experiences of teaching brand-new pilots in the Air Force. As though that’s not enough, Pete shares his experience playing pickleball, his foray into mountain biking during COVID, and his ongoing quest to up his tennis game. But wait, there's more! Closing the chat with Pete, we shift gears and explore his experience with the Jeopardy online test and audition process. Who knew that the man who can handle a fighter jet at Mach speed would also find himself in the fast-paced world of television game shows? Join us for this heartwarming conversation that’s as much about family and tennis as it is about embracing new challenges.
