Peter Noorani (born January 11, 1990) is an English-American businessman and amateur pasta-chef. He is known for his operations career at Coyote Logistics, and for his inability to gain weight despite mass intake of carbohydrates required to satisfy his pasta addiction. Upon the slowing of his metabolism, Noorani is expected to become spherical in shape.

Early life and education
Noorani was born in Summit, New Jersey to Merilee Noorani (née Mees) and Mehrdad Noorani. He moved to London, England two months before his second birthday when his father accepted a two-year job assignment. The family has now been in the UK for 25 years, where his sister, Laura, and brother, Andrew were born in 1991 and 1998 respectively.

When he was 15 years old, Noorani enrolled at Phillips Exeter Academy when his family believed they were moving back to the United States. Despite excitement throughout the summer leading up to his move, Noorani has stated that he realized the significance of leaving home so young during a preseason soccer scrimmage. He definitely did not cry quietly while sharing the field with some varsity seniors.

Noorani earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2012.

Personal Life
Noorani met his girlfriend, Sarah Ufner during a University of Michigan trip to Las Vegas, where she failed to adequately guard his chips from him at a blackjack table. Though she lived in San Francisco for three years following graduation while Noorani lived in Chicago, the pair remained together. Ufner moved to Chicago in June 2015. The sanity of Ufner’s decision to leave San Francisco for Noorani has been questioned by many. Though the promise of acquiring a cat is rumored to have enticed Ufner to move, the couple do not have a cat; they will occasionally watch cat-videos on the internet. Ufner has worked at LinkedIn since March, 2016.

Noorani is a lifelong supporter of Chelsea Football Club, and an oft-disappointed fan of the Michigan Wolverines football team. He is a proud bandwagon fan of the Chicago Cubs, but does not know most of the rules of baseball.

Accent
Noorani’s accent has been the subject of debate since 2005, when he began at Exeter. Initially suspected of faking an English accent, Noorani settled on a more confusing, transatlantic accent over next decade. The greatest impact of the accent was felt during Noorani’s time brokering freight to truck drivers in the southern United States at Coyote, where he was once accused by an Arkansas-based driver of mocking the driver’s accent. Though Noorani was not mocking the driver, he did, ironically, learn to force a more typical American accent in future conversations with drivers.

Honors
Challenged to a food-catching dual by his senior year English instructor at Exeter, Noorani gained extra credit in the class for catching a cherry tomato in his mouth thrown from over a basketball court away.
