Merrill Pierce

Merrill has been excited about gardening since the successful cultivation of his first radish crop at the age of 7. In his youth, he was a member of the 4-H and had a summer job working in the fields, pollinating corn for Louisiana State University (LSU) Agricultural Extension Station. In the Marines, he performed educational and instructional duties, including curricula development and content creation. Merrill has an M.S. degree in Computer Information Systems. He brings his project organizational skills, knowledge of information management and love of gardening to the UrbanPonics initiatives.
