It’s a second time round for Pete here at 2EC, back then when he was here in the 1980’s it was 2BE, (Gee’z how old is this fella?). But this time he has the best view out of his studio window of the Clyde River. Pete’s an avid Tigers supporter and his favourite quote is “we’re from Tigerland” his favourite colours are black and yellow, and if he could he would change his second favourite Aussie rules football team the Batemans Bay Seahawks’ colours to black and yellow and re-name them the Batemans Bay Sea Tigers. He also has two cats, guess what they are called? Pete is a ‘What you see is what you get” kind of fella and hasn’t got time for people with ego’s or bad manners. Welcome Back Disko!
