Peter Zelles

I am a clinical psychologist/psychoanalyst in private practice in St.
Paul and an adjunct graduate professor of psychology at St. Thomas.
I live in Tangletown (just behind Mac - remember?) with my wife Linda and three
children, play in a band called Buster Phalen and am still grieving the loss of
Hungry Mind/Ruminator Books.
My Mac Memories: In one of those Freshman moments of wanting to be a "wild
college student," Bob Rockey and I wandered into the library one cold
autumn evening, wearing only the velvet boxer shorts made for us by Karen
Lindholm (a wonderful seamstress, artist, and bass trombone player—my
girlfriend at the time). Few people gave us a second glance, which speaks
to the environment of Macalester at the time.
There are so many wonderful moments and memories—the Grille; O'Gara's;
classes with the "old" psych. department (Walt Mink, Ray Johnson, Chuck
Torrey and Linda LaBounty); playing guitar with Rick Hammer and
Rob Farrell; and long & intense conversations about politics, philosophy,
science and life with Jeff DeJong, Anne Walsh (now a neighbor and still
great friend) Deannie Golnick, et al.
But regrets, too, like not taking more literature and art, missing out on
physics, and not understanding what a few lovely young women really meant
when they said, "We should get together..." I always thought, "Didn't
we?..."

I'm at the same company I joined after I completed Macalester,
but have managed to reinvent myself every few years as I've gained
different skills and degrees. Since completing a doctorate in computer
science four years ago, I've been researching human-robot interaction.
My Mac Memories: The annual north-south snowball fights, complete with pelting
the Domino's pizza cars. Perhaps more seriously, the January "History of Science in Europe" trip
with Truman Schwartz and the seminar in the history of science that he
taught me along with five or six other topics, at my request, our senior year.

I am a partner at a Private Equity/Hedge Fund in NYC called Fortress
Investment Group. I have worked at Fortress for over 10 years and
currently manage our distress debt group. When I am not working, I spend
time flying my 1991 Beechcraft Bonanza to my weekend house in Western
Massachusetts and throughout most of New England.
