Pete Campbell is a 36-year-old tattoo artist from NSW.
He grew up on the NSW Central Coast and would only eat meat and potatoes. He now dreams of opening a wine bar on Sydneys northern beaches, serving beautiful share plates and providing a welcoming space for locals and visitors alike.
While Pete only started cooking six years ago, he was a quick learner.
In 2015, he quit his corporate job of 10 years and moved to Los Angeles with his wife Alana, two-year-old daughter and another baby on the way.
Hanging up his suit and tie, Pete opened up a coffee shop and retrained as a tattoo artist. Pete said he tattooed his hands to ensure he would never go back to a desk job.
Pete is a tattoo artist hoping to open a wine bar.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit, Pete and his family moved back to Australia. With no job to return to, Pete applied for MasterChef.
The most important thing to Pete are his children, Scout, 7, and Lux, 4.
Pete constantly tells his daughters to do scary things because it will lead to a life of doing what you love.
