Pearce Butler was born in Wheeling, West Virginia and moved to St. Clairsville Ohio when he was 4 years old and still lives there now.  He graduated from St. Clairsville High School in 2022.  At West Liberty University he is a 3rd year Digital Media Design major. After completing a spring 2025 on-campus internship with WGLZ, Pearce will be working on-campus completing a professional internship.  Beginning in the summer of 2025 he will be interning at WTRF News 7 in Wheeling, WV. At WGLZ he is currently working on station promotions, website development, and music programming.  You can also tune in to WGLZ to hear his campus interviews.

He likes to fish and kayak and some of his favorite spots are Tappen and Senecaville Lake but you can also find him fishing in Pennsylvania and as far south as Kentucky.  While in high school he found his passion editing audio and video.  What started as a hobby has grown into freelancing for small projects like memorial montages and weddings videos. If he can find the time he is relaxing watching TV shows like Supernatural, Game of Thrones, and Trailer Park Boys or investing in cryptocurrency.

Pearce hopes that his time at WGLZ will help sharpen his communication skills and content creation for use in the professional field of communications.
