He is a playwright, actor, theatrical and musical producer, and promoter. Pierce utilizes a holistic health and wellness approach when creating or producing theatrical and musical events: proceeds benefit organizations that provide cancer screenings, cancer research, and back-to-school efforts. For nearly two decades, his productions have premiered on the stages across the country and the Twin Cities including the Minneapolis Convention Center, Hennepin Theatre Trust’s State and Orpheum Theatres, SteppingStone Theatre; Bethel University Benson Great Hall Performing Arts Center, Concordia University St. Paul, North Central University, and St. Catherine University’s The O’Shaughnessy.

Pierce believes that faith, love, and hope are the most essential aspects of one’s interactions with God (faith), family and community (love); and reasons for living (hope). He also believes that education which leads to knowledge, and application are crucial elements of one’s Christian growth and knowledge of God.
