Pete Slife is an editor and filmmaker living in NYC and based in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 

He is a commercial film and video editor who also loves to shoot all types of projects.

Before becoming an editor he was a construction project manager, renovating ultra-luxury apartments for wealthy and rather unhappy people in the city. 

Before that he was a bartender, serving a rowdy but mostly cheerful crowd.

Before that he was a carpenter and cabinetmaker, making everything from kitchen cabinets to custom furniture. 

Before that he played bass in a band for a few years, traveling around east of the Mississippi river.  While doing that he worked at a bookstore, a burrito joint, a vegetarian restaurant, a cookie cafe, a Mexican restaurant, and worked as landscaper. 

And the year before that he delivered pizza on a motorcycle, and lived to tell about it. 

And for 3 years before that he worked in a record store, which was really a video rental store that sold CDs. While doing that, he was a lifeguard at the YMCA and sold Christmas trees. Nobody drowned. And no Christmas trees ever fell off the top of any car.

Somewhere along the way he also worked as a grocery cashier, camera salesman, and at Delta Airlines, working in Air Cargo. That was one hot summer at the airport. 

His first printed paycheck came from working at a golf course getting pelted with golf balls  while picking up all those very same golf balls off of the driving range. 

And it all started with a lawnmower and 7 neighbors’ yards.
