As a kid growing up in Fresno, California, a young Pete started down his road as a dancer by watching Soul Train and doing the robot.

In 1978 Pete started to learn the popping style from his older brother Sam who he would always watch dance. "I had to learn how to pop first because boogaloo was too difficult for me".

Popin Pete has gone on to innovate styles/moves like crazy legs, ET, spider man and sleepy style. Currently Pete is helping spread popping and boogaloo knowledge all over the world with the other EB members.
