Hi i’m Pete, First things first—I'm a devoted husband to my beautiful wife, Sonja, and a proud father to three incredible children: Isabel, Jackson, and Josef. Our family also includes a slightly unhinged pit bull named Milo and a one-eyed beagle fittingly named "Wink." We are "our very own island of misfit toys." For nearly 30 years, I've dedicated myself to a fundamental truth: every real estate agent is a small business owner. Since entering the industry in 1997, I've worked with leadership teams across multiple Chicagoland brokerages, learning what makes entrepreneurial ventures thrive—knowledge earned through building, failing, adapting, and ultimately succeeding alongside thousands of agent-entrepreneurs. On January 6, 1991, I got sober. That decision shaped everything that followed, including my approach to business and the principles I would eventually teach. I wrote UP - A Journey of Intention, Focus & Execution because the same discipline that maintained my sobriety could transform any entrepreneur's business. Recovery taught me that sustainable change doesn't come from complexity or secret formulas—it comes from showing up every day with intention, maintaining extreme focus on what matters, and executing the fundamentals with ruthless consistency. These weren't just business principles. They were life principles. The book distills 28 years of business pattern recognition into a systematic approach that transforms scattered effort into concentrated power. It's built on the conviction that success requires extreme focus and ruthless execution across multiple interconnected dimensions. The Birth of Ultradian Partners In 2022, I established Ultradian Partners to become the gold standard for entrepreneurial growth across all industries.

Delivered. Daily." isn't just a motto—it's a discipline. While others chase trends or overcomplicate growth, Ultradian Partners helps entrepreneurs master fundamental pillars through disciplined daily action. My vision extends beyond building another consulting firm. Ultradian Partners fosters a culture of collaborators—real entrepreneurs doing real work in the real world. By bringing together business owners who share values of transparency, accountability, and mutual success, Ultradian Partners creates a community where collective wisdom accelerates individual achievement. This isn't about following one person's playbook—it's about collaborators sharing what actually works, holding each other accountable, and building success together through focused execution. The future of Ultradian Partners reflects my core belief: small business success requires systematic excellence across every facet of business, executed with extreme focus, day after day.
