About Charleston Pierce:

As a native of San Francisco, I began my modeling career in the late 80′s as one of Jimmie Grimme’s models. My career highlights over the course of my 25+ years in the entertainment and fashion industry include successful modeling and acting stints in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and around the United States. I have appeard in national billboards, movies, print ads, fashion shows, and over 30 commercials. In the last two years, I’ve also co-hosted Bay Area Vista TV Show.

In San Francisco, I am known for my presence in the Macy’s Passport fashion shows as a runway top model. In recognition of my expertise, Macy’s Passport invited me from 2005 – 2009 to serve as the lead runway coach and model trainer.

From 2006 – 2011, I’ve been a runway coach and model trainer for the San Francisco Junior League organization. In 2007 I launched “Charleston Pierce Presents”, a series of fashion, music and entertainment events throughout the SF Bay Area with a focus on promoting local designers in San Francisco. In 2008, I was nominated as “Man of the Year” by San Francisco’s Lymphoma & Cancer Society. In 2010, I was awarded Fashion Show Producer & Creative Director by the Bay Area Fashion Awards. In 2011, I was awarded Creative Director of the Year by San Francisco Fashion Awards and was hired by San Francisco City College to teach a class called, “Runway: The Business of Modeling”.

My vision is to support upcoming talent, aspiring models, designers, singers, and others in the entertainment industry in the local San Francisco Bay Area. To achieve this purpose, I lead talent workshops weekly for models, dancers, singers, and rising stars. Thank you to everyone I have worked with for helping to support this vision.
