Pete spent most of his working life at Deister Machine Company in Fort Wayne. He held several positions during his 34-year tenure, including Designer and Burn Table Supervisor. During his time in the shop, he became knowledgeable of all the company’s processes, including their use of robotic technology. A new position was created for his skill set, Project Efficiency Analyst, and Pete was serving in that role at the time of his death.
