PETE
“PETE’S CHARACTER IS EQUAL PARTS HUMOR, PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT
AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS”
– LOIS MAFFEO
Pete Chramiec was born in Newport, Rhode Island, a long time ago. He spent his childhood sneaking small sailboats into the Atlantic Ocean without telling his parents. As a teenager, he joined a band and went on some tours, which led to him being in Berlin in 1989 on the very day the Berlin Wall came down, a fact that he doesn't let anyone forget. 1989 ended up becoming his best year, as he was voted guitar player of the year in the unread Flipside Magazine (a xeroxed copy of which he posts next to our report cards on the fridge every year). He later lived in Washington DC, but it was too muggy (weather-wise and also getting-mugged-wise), so he moved to the better Washington: Washington State. There, he studied Organic Farming, but couldn't grow things good. He luckily met his wife and, more importantly, had two very cool daughters (one of which he forced into making this website for him). Now, he lives in Olympia with his family, along with his two cats, one dog, and eight chickens. As you can tell, he is very into these animals. Some of his skills include eating cookies (all of the cookies), losing at Cribbage, and building houses (maybe).

ERIN
TRAVEL, BACKPACKING, FORAGING FOR MUSHROOMS AND GENERALLY ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS.
Erin’s family is from Washington, and she spent 25 years in Portland, OR. She went to school at Willamette and earned degrees in physics and chemistry. Her career has taken her from everything from optical engineering to cybersecurity. And then Pete built a home for her. And she realized that helping to build energy efficient dream homes is where she wants to be. She now lends her talents to our company doing bookkeeping, office management, and general herding of the cats.
