For over two decades, I’ve worked as a freelance photojournalist and writer, chasing the pulse of people and their stories. My work has taken me across neighborhoods, countries, and conversations. It has published in places like The Daily Beast, Insider, BBC, and more. I’ve always been less interested in headlines and more drawn to the quiet drivers behind human behavior: why people do what they do, who they become under pressure, and how their environments shape their choices.

I’m currently studying applied psychology at Ottawa University, where I’m developing a framework called Expressive Spaces—a project rooted in psychology, creativity, and human dynamics (Pierce, 2025). I also speak with small groups, corporations, and individuals about project strategies and the emotional architectures behind meaningful work.

When I’m not writing or digging into social psychology and personality theory, I spend time with my wife, our dog Axel, and our cat Dragon, living a grounded life deep in the heart of Texas. HUMINT and sociology are my pastimes, but people—their patterns, their passions, and their inner contradictions—are my true obsession.

This space is where all of that comes together.
