An Atglen, Pa. native, Pelet earned honorable mention Boy's Polo Golf Junior All-America honors in 2002 and won the AJGA Fieldstone Junior Classic. In 2001 he participated in the USGA Junior Amateur championship and finished fifth at the AJGA Marsh Junior. He also earned First Team All-America and All-Star honors from the Plantations Jr. Golf Tour in 1999 and 2000.
Pelet enjoyed a stellar prep career at Bishop Shanahan High School. A four-year participant in the Pennsylvania State High School Tournament, Pelet was a two-time District 1 Champion (2000 and 2002).
