Percy (Pierce)'s Story
Life
Lets see where do I start....
When I left SOCES. I went to Los Angeles City College, was majoring on Psychology and taking Theater for fun. I learned a lot about myself then which and began coming out of my shy shell.
In 1992 I began working as an instructor at Bally Total Fitness, with the hopes of being a personal trainer. In order for me to be a personal trainer I first had to get into sales.
I entered sales and within a few months was promoted to an Assisted Manager of a small club. In the years that followed I began moving up the corporate world to bigger locations and more responsibility. At that time I had transferred to USC and was majoring in Marketing. But because of my hectic schedule I had to drop out of school.
I finally reached my goal at Bally. I was managing the largest and most profitable health club in the nation. I was constantly busy and doing very well.
In 1999 I felt unmotivated working for Ballys. I felt that there was a lot more out there for me to do. I had not traveled and this was the only job I had since turning 19. However I was making good money and I had dropped out of college. I didnt want to risk it
Finally in 2001 I felt I wanted to explore other options as I was still young. I resigned my position
A few months later I began working with Britco Pictures and ClubJenna. I did marketing and publicity for them. It was then that I started doing some photo shoots and from that I land a couple parts of a few cable shows.
I traveled to some great cities around the world and enjoyed learning new cultures. (those were great times)
