==History==
'''Pete Parsons''' (a.k.a. Mango) was the Studio Manager at [[Bungie]] from 2002 to 2006, as well as the executive producer of ''[[Halo 2]]''. Essentially, his job is to supervise the team and making sure that their job is smooth and nothing will happen to hinder them in production. Parsons, 38, left a senior marketing job at Microsoft to join the ''Halo'' crew as studio manager. He once said: "I'd been a [[Bungie]] fan for a long time. They're an incredibly talented group of people who don't accept second best. I like the bar being set so high that falling off would kill you."
