Pete Costanti, the leading entrepreneur speaks what success means to him

Pete Costanti runs MFGR designs, his background is varied, from commercial fishing, berry picking, pizza delivery, to carpentry, REI sales and bussing tables. “Success for me doesn’t include money.

Another way we feel successful is when we can bring small-town culture and push it into big cities. Also, getting to work with renowned people like Byoung Cho from Seoul, South Korea, who’s such a talented architect that leaves me feeling overwhelmed with the feeling of success. Success is in the level of collaboration we do and the environment we create to foster that creativity”, Pete remarked.
