Pete Friesen trusted his intuition and employed his skills to
create a lifetime filled with extraordinary achievements. Born in
post-revolutionary Russia and raised on the Canadian prairie during
the Great Depression, Friesen overcame challenging odds and found
his way to the pinnacle of engineering success in the United
States.
As noted by Peter Rowlands, who was involved in production of
Friesen's bio-documentary "Pete: Moving Man Made Mountains," Pete
Friesen considered life on earth to be an adventure where every
challenge and every failure was a learning experience. With little
formal education, he became an inventor and innovator who moved
more than four thousand buildings in his structural-moving career.
Possessing the ability to visualize resolution of complex problems,
Friesen designed machinery and developed procedures that propelled
his chosen profession into the modern age.
Rowlands chronicles Friesen's fascinating life from beginning
to end-from a turbulent childhood through inventions and
innovations to international acclaim-creating a fitting memoir and
an unforgettable tribute to a man who lived by his credo of hope-to
never, never give up.
