Meet Peter Contardo: Local Pinewood Derby champion, Space Camp graduate, and proud owner of a life-sized Yoda who believes grapes are nature’s candy—and that we need more teachers like Ms. Frizzle!
Pausing his career as a video storyteller, marketing executive, and business consultant, Peter realized a childhood dream—to become a farmer—growing blueberries, harvesting pine trees, raising goats, and building a barn venue.
His farm life and professional background are deeply rooted in values passed down from his family of early childhood educators. These experiences inspire his unique storytelling approach, blending heartwarming adventures and practical wisdom to engage adults and children alike.
As the creator of Macieverse Media House, Peter brings Macie’s adventures to life, crafting content that inspires kids and families to learn, grow, and embrace healthy living and sustainability. His multimedia projects combine real-world insights with enchanting stories, emphasizing the power of individual actions to build a better future.
In addition to his creative work, Peter is committed to addressing food insecurity as co-founder of Access to Fresh, a nonprofit focused on improving food access and literacy in underserved communities. His work emphasizes building sustainable, locally sourced solutions, especially for vulnerable groups like children and seniors. Through grassroots efforts and innovative outreach, Peter is dedicated to strengthening food systems and ensuring communities have the resources to make healthier, more informed choices.
When he’s not busy crafting new adventures for the Macieverse, Peter enjoys playing pickleball with his wife, quoting movie “classics” to his kids, and reading to his granddaughter… Macie.
