Since Peter Jon Shuler joined KQED Radio's staff as South Bay Bureau Chief in 1990, he has
covered everything from the beginnings of the World Wide Web to the dot-com bust, from
preserving Silicon Valley's open space to the preservation of historic Valley landmarks.
Peter caught the radio bug at WAUS-FM while still a student at Andrews University in his
home town of Berrien Springs, Michigan. He did local news and hosted a classical music program.
Since then, he has pursued a variety of assignments, including production work at WBAI in New
York and broadcasting to the English language community of Geneva, Switzerland via Radio 74.
Shuler's work for KQED has earned numerous awards and honors. He is also an occasional
contributor to National Public Radio, Marketplace and Voice of America.
When he isn't reporting, Shuler pursues his avocation as an amateur actor. The self-proclaimed
"media geek" has an ever-growing collection of videos, books, CDs and 33, 45 and 78 rpm
records -- and now, of course, MP3s. Shuler is also a proud member of the Bay Area Chapter
of Mensa.
