Pierce Gibson, SJ

Shipped from Austin TX, Pierce entered the Society of Jesus in 2014 and later studied classics (dead languages) at Columbia University in New York City. He is currently teaching at St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, IL. A fervent supporter of defeated causes (Periclean Athens, the Chinese Imperial Examinations, the Ancien Régime, the Dallas Cowboys), Pierce enjoys baroque music, Jane Austen, the sapidity of a fine Taco Bell dinner, and hunting for cheap golf.
