Pierce went to Christ the King School before Jesuit, and started writing for The Roundup during his sophomore year when his older brother, Clark, was the editor-in-chief. His favorite sport is football, which he played up until this summer when he had a knee injury that will keep him out for the season. He really enjoys Breaking Bad, though he's dreading its end, and loves to discuss it any chance he gets. He can’t wait to start another year with The Roundup!
