Career


Peter Hill started skateboarding at age 7 with his brother Stephen in Melbourne in the early 1970s. In their teenage years, they put together one of the early Australian-sponsored skate teams, Sparx, were in the Nike skateboard team in 1979 and competed successfully in Australian skate titles.
Along with their younger brother, Matt Hill, they began to import skateboards and associated equipment, eventually forming Hardcore Distribution, a company that later grew into Globe International. In the 1980s, the brothers promoted skateboarding in Australia, running demonstrations and tours featuring local and American skateboarders including Allen Losi, Mark Gonzales, Christian Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Jeff Phillips and Jason Lee. They also distributed Vision Streetwear and Airwalk shoes.
Peter and Stephen wrote two books on skateboarding, The Skateboard Book: Blast! (1986) and Skate Hard (1988). The design plans from those two books influenced the construction of Australian skateparks and ramps for the following decade. In 1987 the brothers were profiled on a segment on Australian skateboarding on 60 Minutes. In that same year, they co-founded an Australian skateboarding magazine, 540. Peter and his brother were also early snowboarders in Australia and successfully lobbied for snowboarders' access to Australian snow fields.
Peter and Stephen's private company grew throughout the 1990s, and they also licensed major streetwear labels Mossimo, Stüssy, Eckō Unltd., Split, Hardcore Jeans and Paul Frank Industries, along with creating their own proprietary brands, including Globe, Mooks and M-ONE-11. In 2001, Peter oversaw the public float of the company, Globe International, on the Australian Stock Exchange with his brothers, maintaining a large shareholding and subsequently appointed to the board as an executive director. Peter remained actively involved in product development and brand creation, as well as development and positioning for the company as it expanded into North America, Europe and Asia.
Along with his brothers, Peter also founded Whyte House Entertainment, a multimedia company based in Australia and Los Angeles in 1997, where he acted as an executive producer on all titles produced. Peter was a producer on Love the Beast, a feature documentary featuring his friend Eric Bana and released theatrically in Australia and the UK in 2009. Hill executive produced the award-winning surf short film Electric Blue Heaven (2012)
Peter also is reported as driving the family group's telco and motorsport company interests. Both he and his brother Stephen hold an interest in Boost Mobile with Paul Keating.
The Hill brothers featured in the book, Unemployable: 30 Years of Hardcore, Skate and Street released for the 30th anniversary of the Globe and Hardcore companies in 2015. After overseeing six years of development, Hill launched the dot board, an electric skateboard as part of a new division of Globe International, in late 2019.
