Bio

In July 1984, Peter Rowe was hired as a writer for the San Diego Union. He has yet to be fired.
At the Union, he wrote feature stories and worked as an editor. When the Union merged with the Tribune in 1992, he became a Union-Tribune columnist. A California native, Rowe attended high school in Encinitas (San Dieguito) and college in La Jolla (UCSD). He is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Northwestern University. He is a past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, a former Fulbright scholar (Japan, 2003) and has won a handful of journalism awards. He'd trade them all for a chance to avenge his "Jeopardy!" loss (1994). He has three sons. Not one of them reads his stories. He is married to a terrific woman who often rescues him from errors, in writing and in life. These days, Rowe writes profiles and features. He's even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair. He does not look like his photograph.
