Pete Vanlaw

A Life Changing Discovery at Middle Age.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Pete grew up in the San Fernando Valley, graduated UCLA with a degree in psychology. Then he spent two years in the Air Force working with the top secret U-2 spy plane. He entered the advertising business and spent the next forty years producing films, TV commercials and documentaries. Had he not discovered his mother’s photo albums and film after a heart attack, he doubts that he would have ever have gotten into genealogy or made "For the Life of Me."
