Pete Kunst

Pete was born in Caledonia, Minnesota. He joined the Marine Corps after graduating from St. Mary's High School in Owatonna, Minnesota. Pete then moved to California where he established a gardening and tree trimming business. Pete also worked for a large commercial landscape contractor.

Pete helped his brother Dave finish the first verified walk round the earth after his other brother John was killed by bandits in Afghanistan. Pete walked across Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and half of Australia before returning to his family in California.

Pete and his brother Dave were the first non-Asians to walk to and cross the Kyber Pass (in Pakistan) on foot since Alexander the Great.
