Peter Martinelli’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a veteran, a writer, a former business owner and fine dining-trained chef. I have a passion for writing about chronic illness and mental health issues, medicinal cannabis and telling the stories of those who are unable to speak for themselves.
I have served in Afghanistan and the Middle East and cooked on the line in the fiery gauntlet of professional kitchens. And I love to garden.
