About Pete Brumis

I'm the Public Outreach Specialist for Tahoe RCD. I've lived in Lake Tahoe on and off since 1999, with stints in Hawaii and Monterey. After earning my MBA at the Monterey Institute of Int'l Studies in 2005, I owned my own marketing agency, specializing in renewable energy, sustainability and ecotourism. Now, I'm dedicated to preserving Tahoe's natural resources for the enjoyment of my 9-year old Tyler and future generations!
