Pete Birle

During the day, Pete Birle works as a corporate communicator. In past lives, he has been a syndicated newspaper editor, a sportswriter, a New York City elementary school teacher, a college instructor — and a stand-up comedian. He has a bachelor’s and two master’s degrees from Fordham University. And he’s a licensed youth soccer coach and certified youth baseball coach.

What he considers himself to be, though, is a writer of children’s books who has happened to do a bunch of “other stuff.” He currently resides in Westfield, N.J., with his wife and three athletic boys, who, like him, are diehard New York Mets fans. They also provide him with plenty of ideas for books.
