Donald Wayne “Pete”Sencenbaugh, was born in Lewiston, Idaho December 5, 1921. He attended school in Grand Junction, Colorado. Pete's love for math started in high school, where he also began playing the clarinet. After graduating from high school at 16, Pete went to Mesa County Junior College and shortly thereafter received an appointment to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He was commissioned as an officer and served during and after World War II aboard the submarine USS Raton, was executive officer for the USS Threadfin and was skipper of the USS Atule.

After a second retirement, Pete enjoyed judging figure skating, trips to the cabin in Allen's Park, Colorado, and hiking in the mountains with his children.
