Peter Nowak
I'm Peter, Editor-in-Chief and founder of DONUT Press Media – AKA I've also done a bit of everything, from marketing to sales to fundraising to biz dev, etc. I majored in baseball at Michigan State University (Go Green!) with some economics classes sprinkled in. In my limited spare time you'll find me diving down the rabbit hole on my latest obsession (addictive personalities ftw), rock climbing, or watching sports/every movie the algorithm gods serve me.
