Pete Carey

I've been a reporter at the San Jose Mercury News for many years. I'm currently writing for the business page. Past assignments include early coverage of Silicon Valley when that was a new moniker for the Valley of the Heart's Delight; investigative and international reporting (Pulitzer 1986, International Reporting); breaking news. Born in San Francisco, raised in Berkeley, 1964 economics graduate of U.C. Berkeley, 1983 journalism fellow at Stanford University. My inspiring companion in life is the composer Joanne D. Carey.
