Lead Guitars​

​

Pete was born in 1993, in Kansas City, KS. He picked up his first six-string in fourth grade, though he didn't begin taking it seriously until the age of 16. During grade-school he and Ben would jam after school to old Green Day songs, and even played a talent show together (Pete on bass, Ben on guitar). While the talent show was a total disaster, it did establish a musical connection between the two. At age 17, he and Ben began talking about forming a heavier side project to Ben's pop-punk band. Though the idea never came to fruition, it did inspire another idea, and something much greater came about; Breaking Even. "This is my first stint in a real band, and it has been something that I have worked towards for 2 years." Pete gets his influences from several bands, including Avenged Sevenfold, Alter Bridge, A Day To Remember, Breaking Benjamin,  Bullet For My Valentine, and Three Days Grace.
