About Give Hope

Pete is an alumni of Bishop Moore High School, and the University of Florida. After returning from college, Pete founded Give Hope Foundation with the help of several close friends and family members. Today, he continues to volunteer as the President of Give Hope Foundation. He is also an entrepreneur. He and his wife Jen have three daughters, Gianna, Mia, and Siena. Pete founded Give Hope Foundation to change the relationship between a donor and a non-profit to one in which the donor is not called on to pay any portion of the overhead expenses of the organization – a commitment that Give Hope maintains today. Pete’s favorite thing about Give Hope Foundation is seeing the impact we make on families who truly need us in very tough times.
