Article in McDonogh Magazine

In early 2013 I returned to my high school to speak with students about my experience working on a presidential campaign, how I learned to like math, and American politics.

The school magazine wrote up this article on the visit.

"Peter Backof ’02 admits that when he was in Upper School at McDonogh he wasn’t really motivated by math, which is why his job crunching numbers as a member of the Obama Campaign seems somewhat ironic. Backof returned to campus this week to share his experiences and explain how life after McDonogh led him to the 2012 presidential campaign."
