Pete Proper

Art Director

Hired June 1997

Background:

Pete is a New Brighton boy who grew up only a few blocks from the agency. The middle of three children, Pete is a well-practiced negotiator and mediator, allowing him to be a graceful middleman between Account Executives and Art Directors.

Education:

Pete is a recent graduate of Brown Institute in Minneapolis, where he earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in advertising design. He's also spent some time at the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology studying architecture.

Past Life:

Pete spent over eleven years in the grocery industry, most of which was spent in produce. Ask him the difference between a sweet potato and a yam and he'll gladly sit down with you to explain. He also asserts that the tarantula-in-bananas story is not an urban legend. He, in fact, made the discovery himself once or twice. It was nothing, however, compared to the snake he found neatly packaged in a box of green beans.

Childhood:

As a child Pete was a big fan of comic books and cartoons. When, as an adult, he tired of the produce section, he tapped into this childhood interest by creating and manipulating things on the computer.

Interests:

Science fiction, fantasy football, basketball, water skiing, spending time up north at his family's cabin, working on his 1971 Datsun 240Z.

Temptation:

Pete is a connoisseur of nachos.
