Pete Rock is a insightful and incisive writer, who shines a light on society's darker spaces.

But he's also a remarkable teacher. As my academic advisor and writing professor at Reed College, his time and thought shaped and influenced my writing in ways that still surprise and impress me.

Although I now work in public relations and political communications, I will always be indebted to Pete as a mentor, teacher, and friend.

-Ben DuPree, Reed College '06
