Peter James Coggan was raised in farm country just outside of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The family home was too remote for cable television so he spent his time shooting super 8 film. He became a amateur still photographer by age 12 and used this as a way into every lab and darkroom in the region. He pursued a career as a Musician and Audio Engineer in Los Angeles. He eventually found himself doing more Film and Video work than Audio Engineering. He moved to Colorado to take a job Warren Miller Films. In the evenings, Pete continued working toward his degree in Music and added a Film Production major at the urging of his wife Caroline. Caroline Coggan formed 42 Productions in Boulder, Colorado with her husband Peter. They made videos for VW, Burger King, HP, Old Navy, New Belgium and Ball Aerospace . In 2008 Peter and 42 Productions made their first feature film, Woodshop. Fishing Naked is Peter's second feature film.
