Hailing from Neptune Rowing Club, Pearce has been rowing for seven years, having represented the club twice in the Gannon Cup and stroking the winning Club 8+ at the 2025 University Championships.

Off the water, Pearce studies Mechanical Engineering. He has consistently contributed to the club, serving as Honorary Secretary last year and as a House and Grounds Officer this year.
