Peter Burke was born in Concord, Massachussetts, but moved to Northern California when he was 3 in order to star in 8mm short films with his brother Paul. Mom and Dad produced several excellent home movies. While in grammar school he was a standout, and the principal took a heavy interest in his career there, meeting frequently with him.

He graduated from Santa Clara University, working as a laborer in the summer on construction crews. With an English major and philosophy minor he was on the fast track to either law or carpentry. For the past 10 years Peter has worked his way up the trades from apprentice carpenter, journeyman, foreman, and finally to licensed contractor.

Last November, he walked onto an HGTV set to give his opinion on a house remodel, caught the camera’s eye, and next thing you know…

In his spare time--well, he never has spare time--but traveling on the cheap and surfing would be nice.
