Pete Draganic

Pete Draganic has lead a storied life. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, his first of many interesting paths led him to work as a Bounty Hunter. He reportedly arrested over 700 felons throughout 13 states and was shot and nearly killed in July of 1992, when he suffered a severed femoral artery in his left groin. Against astronomical odds, he survived. He not only continued in the bail bonds industry but additionally expanded into the areas of private investigation and auto repossession. Draganic eventually left these risky fields of work after he and his wife, Lisa, had their last of three children. He returned to construction work, a field in which he was raised by his father. In 2005, Draganic campaigned for just over 1 year in an effort to be elected Governor of the State of Ohio. He withdrew before the final filing deadline but had campaigned throughout 77 of Ohio's 88 counties. Speaking as Keynote speaker at a number of events around the state, appearing on television, radio and in newsprint, Draganic made quite an impression as a "common man" candidate. He primary opponents were the Ohio Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, Ohio Attorney General, Jim Petro and Ohio Auditor of State, Betty Montgomery against all of whom he would debate in numerous forums. In 2007, Draganic was elected to local public office for three consecutive terms, serving as councilman in the City of Seven Hills, Ohio where he also served as Council President Pro-Tem and chaired various committees overseeing the largest departments in the city. In 2007 Draganic auditioned for and landed his role in Significant Other where he played Detective Kline. Draganic also had minor parts in other smaller productions that year. In 2010, Draganic applied for a patent for a fluid control device. That patent was granted, in its entirety, in 2013. Draganic's produces products, based on this patent, through his company, Reflo Ltd. Draganic still continues to operate in the construction field as well, primarily providing services to major restaurant chains.
