Leadership

 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.

Brian Hunter is a former professional baseball player. He played all or part of nine seasons in Major League Baseball between 1991 and 2000 for the Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies. While he was primarily a first baseman, he also appeared in nearly 100 games as an outfielder. Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 8th round of the 1987 amateur draft, Hunter appeared in three World Series in 1991, 1992 and 1999 as a member of the Braves. Hunter hit a home run in Game 5 of the 1991 series in a 14–5 Braves victory over the Minnesota Twins. He hit a two-run home run in the first inning of the deciding game 7 of the 1991 National League Championship Series at Three Rivers Stadium vs the Pittsburgh Pirates; the Braves won the game 4–0, advancing to the 1991 World Series to face the Minnesota Twins.

From the immediate moment Mr. Hunter was made aware of On Deck and its mission years ago, he hasn't left. His life experiences, role-modeling capabilities, contacts and willingness at all times to help sets the standard for what On Deck Leadership is all about!

Hunter is the brother of basketball player Loree Moore and father to his two incredible sons.
