Peter Wurdock was born and raised in Royal Oak,
Michigan. A product of the public school system, he
graduated with honors from Dondero High School and later
attended Albion College with the intention of pursuing a
career in creative writing and journalism. He was later
accepted to the renowned Berklee College of Music in
Boston, MA, where he studied composition, arranging and
performance. Upon returning to Michigan, he worked part
time as a professional musician, playing professionally in
musical theater and performing with various bands in the
Detroit area.

Wurdock worked briefly in Nashville as a record promoter
with some of the top country artists of the 90’s. He came
back to Detroit to team up with Detroit music legend,
Stewart Francke, when Blue Boundary Records was
formed. Wurdock has played an important part in each of
Francke’s twelve award-winning releases since 1995.
He served as an officer on the Stewart Francke Leukemia
Foundation, helping raise money for leukemia patients and
their families. This led him into other philanthropic interests.

Peter currently divides his time between working as
Marketing Director for a leading non-profit senior housing
agency in metropolitan Detroit and pursuing creative
projects, which include writing fiction, music and
photojournalism. Still a bachelor, Wurdock is active in
the Royal Oak, Michigan community where he resides.
His leisure time is divided between relaxing at the family’s
century-old cottage in Delavan, WI and in a remote log
cabin, deep within the Hiawatha forest near Lake Superior
in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
