Pete Tarrier - Play-by-Play and Writer

Pete is a lifelong resident of New Hampshire.  Born and raised in Nashua, Pete's 1st sports memory was Bernie Carbo's dramatic pinch-hit 3 run home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series.  He missed Carlton Fisk's even more famous extra innings game-winner because he fell asleep.  Who can blame him?  He was only 5 years old at the time!  After that moment, there was no turning back, Pete was hooked on sports.

His passion led him to broadcasting school and has since propelled him to a 25 year career in NH radio as a sportscaster and advertising salesman.  Pete got his 1st radio job at 92.1 WNHQ-FM in Milford/Peterborough way back in 1991 doing ConVal basketball games.  In 1995 he went to WGIR AM/ROCK 101 for the next 10 years winning multiple Golden Mike awards.  He then spent 5 years at Sports Radio WGAM “The Game” in Manchester/Nashua from 2005-2010, before taking a job at 98.5 “The Sports Hub” in Boston.  After a short stay in Boston, Pete returned to WGIR in the summer of 2010 and spent 5 more years there.  In the fall of 2015 Pete joined the staff of ESPN New Hampshire in the new partnership with NH Sportspage.

He now lives in Goffstown with his wife Meagan and their 2 sons, Zack and Ryan.
