Meet Pete

Pete K. Wong, grew up in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota USA. At a young age he had a creativity that sparked story and character creation, this led to pursuing a career in film/tv/theatre, while at the same time working as a youth educator.

In his early 20’s Pete’s mental health would suffer when he was confronted with the death by suicide of his best friend and the memory and realization of his grandmothers. With support, Pete was able to overcome his depression and found himself overseas in Hong Kong SAR, working as an English Drama teacher and a film producer’s assistant. At the same time, he had roles in front and behind the camera and stage.

Returning to the United States, Pete moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue his passions even further and for a change in scenery, but instead, grew unsure of his future and at times felt more alone.

As the saying goes,“When the student is ready the teacher appears.”It was then when he met his mentor and best friend Guru Orpheus Black, and it was through his training in mixed martial arts/boxing and vulnerable conversations that both challenged and inspired Pete, he learned the value and the importance of taking better care of his health, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Soon Pete began to shape his life as he always wanted to but never knew that he could. His road to self-healing had begun and ultimately would pave the path to self-mastery.

“I had to learn how to embrace failure in order to discover what it meant to succeed.”

“I didn’t know what I was doing with my life and I didn’t like who I had become.”
