Peter Malone was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As a youngster, Pedro lived in various parts of the Caribbean. At the age of 13, his family moved to Montreal, Quebec where he proceeded to attend high school. His post-secondary education was completed at Dawson College C.E.G.E.P. and Concordia University. Pedro graduated from Concordia in 1986 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Graphic Design. An artist in his own right, Pedro used his background as a stepping stone towards beginning a career in advertising. By 1992 he formed a partnership with a fellow artist to create Tepna-Wren and Associates, a boutique ad agency that specialized in pharmaceutical advertising. After 15 years in the industry, Pedro decided to make a career change. In 2000 he left the ad business for good. Having always had a passion for working with children, Pedro decided to volunteer at his eldest son's elementary school by teaching art. In 2004 he applied and was accepted to York University. There he acquired his Bachelor of Education. Pedro is now in his second year as a teacher with the Toronto District School Board. He teaches grade 4 and 5 at an elementary school in the Scarborough Area. Pedro lives with his wife Anne Marie and 2 sons, Evan and Alex in Toronto. |
