Leadership

The On Deck Foundation was founded to address needs within the LA County foster system which grew into our communities. Because when we started we dealt with male residential facilities and group homes, our leadership was male dominant. Now, moving forward, we are in great need of positive female role models. If you know of one or are one, please start the process on our contact page.

Brett P. Pierce, President

 Brett P. Pierce is the Founder of the On Deck Foundation. He is a former baseball professional with over 25 years of experience with youth and high level athletes. He is currently a MLB & NFL Draft Family Advisor and Pro Bio Mechanical Specialist.

In 2001, after seeing his first foster care facility, he left professional baseball and got to work. Unaware of this population growing up in Southern CA, it was now also time to raise awareness. Mr. Pierce felt that if he could help find each child's dream with them, he could implement the formula he used to become a pro, work harder than the next one! He also realized that his kids needed proper equipment, tools and resources which they currently did not have access to. What came next was the creation of the On Deck Foundation. Mr. Pierce currently resides in the Houston area of Texas with his wife, Shawntees, 14 yr old daughter Cory Ann, 6 yr old son Levi and the house guard dog, Thumbelina.
