Life Experiences



About the Author

Peter A. Venuto, a first time author, has gained a lot of knowledge in his 60+ years of observations and experiences.

He started out as a farm boy living on his grandparent’s farm in South Jersey, when the old draft horse was just as valuable as the tractor. His roots are in Sicily from where his father and grandparents emigrated in the early 1900’s.

He has worked as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman, a Respiratory Therapist, a real estate salesman, an accounting specialist, and now as a caregiver to mentally handicapped individuals with behavioral problems and as an author.

He enjoys good friends, good music, good food and good wine. You don’t need a wine steward. Cabernet Sauvignon goes with everything!

He feels his greatest achievement is the close relationship he has established with his two sons.

Hobbies include gardening, cooking, bowling and playing the piano.

His grandparents brought with them, from Sicily in 1910, seeds for a large leaf variety of Sweet Basil. Every year since then the family has saved the seed for the next year’s planting. Pete has continued this tradition and in the year 2010 the tradition will become 100 years old.

His most gratifying moment in life was being present when his mother took her last breath. He had previously been her full time caregiver for over three years when she had advanced Alzheimer’s disease.

He hopes all who obtain a copy of his book will enjoy it, as others have, and that singles will reap great benefits from it and not become a divorce statistic and at the same time obtain valuable insight into raising children.
