About me
Pete Luna joined the Uvalde Leader-News in June 2006. He was a production assistant and also took photos for nearly two years before transitioning to the circulation department, where he spent about 13 years before becoming general manager. He has won multiple regional, state, and national awards for his photography, pre- and post- the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. He got his start taking photos for the newspaper when the assignment came with the offer of free passes to the annual Palomino Fest musical festival. When he’s not selling ads, telling jokes, or covering crime or sports with his camera, he enjoys grilling, fishing, serving up drinks and sarcasm, and watching sports and documentaries.
