Jim Peterik

Jim Peterik, co-founder of The Ides of March and Survivor, is also one of the most prolific songwriters in modern music. While it may sound hackneyed, music is not what he [b][i]does[/b][/i], it most definitely defines his entire being. When he's not performing or spending time with his original factory wife, Karen (high school sweethearts), he's writing for himself, writing with other artists, developing and producing new talent. He wrote the song "You're In Our Hearts," a tribute to his friend Fergie Frederiksen, that was the subject of the recording session. Jim and Karen are also great friends of mine and Sheri's. He's one of the friendliest, most down-to-Earth guys I know. Every once in a while, you find someone you're proud to say is a friend. That would be this man. Olympus E-M5, ZD 14-54
