Williams was raised in Casper, Wyoming where his mother was a realtor and his father was an orthodontist. "Pete" is a nickname he has used since childhood.[3] After he graduated from Stanford University, where he had originally studied engineering but subsequently changed to journalism,[4] he began his career in local news with the Casper, Wyoming, television station KTWO and its eponymous radio station in 1974.
In 1986, Williams became press secretary for U.S. Representative Dick Cheney and followed Cheney to the United States Department of Defense as Cheney became United States Secretary of Defense to be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs in 1989 during the George H.
