DEDICATED. DETERMINED. DISCIPLINED.

A tri-athlete excelling in football, wrestling and track;
committed to hard work and pushing limits.

Who I am

Sports has been a cornerstone of my life since I was young. I started playing football in kindergarten, learning the value of teamwork and perseverance early on. Wrestling followed in 2nd grade, adding discipline and mental toughness to my athletic foundation.

On the football field, I’ve demonstrated my versatility and leadership. I played quarterback in my freshman and sophomore years. At our coach's request, I shifted to safety and cornerback as a junior to strengthen our team’s defense, while also serving as the backup quarterback. And now, in my senior year, I’m proud to be stepping up as the starting quarterback once again. Despite being very young for my grade level, I’ve consistently excelled, showing that age is no barrier to hard work and determination. I’ve also never missed a practice throughout my years as an athlete, a testament to my dedication and work ethic.

Wrestling has also been a passion, shaping me into a well-rounded and tenacious competitor. This sport has challenged me to push past my limits and sharpen my focus, both on the mat and in life.

In my first year of track, I’ve already demonstrated an impressive speed, my goal was to break 5 minutes and I did that on May 8th with 4:55.

As I prepare for the next chapter, I’m eager to bring the same drive, discipline, and love for competition to the collegiate level—whether it’s football, wrestling, or track.

Pierce is a perfect example of hard work pays off! He puts his all into wrestling and is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached. He is always putting in the extra work and always looking to improve. His hard work goes beyond the wrestling mat. His work ethic has allowed him to excel in the classroom and become a well-rounded young man who the younger wrestlers are able to look up too!
