Pete was born in Richmond, Virginia to parents Catharine Pratt Field and Harry P. Field. The family moved to Hawaii in 1925. His interest in all things lead him to become an Eagle Scout at 16. After graduating from Punahou School, Pete entered the military early in WWII serving in both the Navy and the Army. After the War he studied electrical systems and became a licensed electrician. In 1948 he built the first of five houses he constructed during his life. Pete began a career as an electrical mechanic for United Airlines in 1951. He married Miriam Jane Butler (Nana) in 1953 and they purchased a farm in Kahalu'u where he built three more houses. After 30 years at United he retired to his farm in Kahalu'u where the Fearless Field Force raised sweet corn and grandchildren. Pete finished his fifth house at Wailau Point in 1997, where he and Nana enjoyed gardening, hydroponics, visitors, and great grandchildren.
