Peter Ricci
Assistant Editor
In a sense, Peter Ricci never left Chicago Agent. After working as an intern for the magazine in 2009, Peter completed his studies in magazine journalism at Ohio University the following year, only to rejoin the magazine’s operations the following summer as its Assistant Editor. In his position, Peter divides his time between the print publication, where he copyedits and writes stories, and the magazine’s website, where he updates the site’s operations and composes the vast majority of the site’s content. In addition, Peter is responsible for the magazine’s Twitter and Facebook accounts, and he assists Agent Publishing with any special publications it may be working on. In his increasingly rare free time, Peter loves to run, watch movies and uphold his adoration for the written word.
