Here are some fun facts about Caleb Pierce, President and Premier-Level Tutor at Get Smarter Prep (the test prep and college counseling experts helping students crush the ACT, SAT, and more). These come straight from his own list—perfect for getting to know the guy behind the scores and strategies!
- Tiny Scrooge superstar → In fifth grade, Caleb stole the show as the lead in A Christmas Carol. At just 10 years old, he apparently made a convincing grumpy old man—talk about early acting chops!
- MLB stadium collector → He’s visited 19 out of 30 Major League Baseball parks thanks to epic “Baseball Trips” with his brothers and dad. His all-time favorite? Fenway Park (and yeah, he admits a little Boston bias might be involved!).
- Tough comeback kid → On January 11, 2006, a basketball mishap shattered all the bones on the right side of his face. One surgery later, “Humpty Dumpty” was back together—proof he’s resilient on and off the court.
- Beach over city vibes → While he enjoys exploring new cities and cultures, Caleb’s true happy place is a beach vacation. Nothing beats escaping reality for some sand, sun, and zero stress!
- World-stage performer → As a high school sophomore, he marched and performed with the Denver Citywide Marching Band at the Summit of the Eight (the 1997 G8 Summit in Denver). The crowd included heavy-hitters like Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Boris Yeltsin, and Jacques Chirac. Bonus: He got to say hi to Michael Bolton, swears Amy Grant winked at him, and shared the stage with Aretha Franklin!
- One-and-done New Year’s adventure → Caleb rang in 2006 in the heart of Times Square, New York City. Super fun experience… but he says once was enough—no repeat plans!
- Fantasy baseball lifer → He’s been in the same fantasy baseball league since 2005—longer than he’s lived in any single city (not just house!). True dedication to the game.
- Super-rare degree → Caleb holds a Master’s in Enrollment Management—one of the most unique grad degrees out there. It ties perfectly into his background in education, admissions, and now leading Get Smarter Prep.
- Food loves & hates → Big fan of sweet potatoes (yes, please!). On the flip side? He can’t stand zucchini or cucumbers—no thanks!
- Bucket-list destination → He’s not deep into the culture… yet… but Malta is high on his travel wish list. Mediterranean vibes, history, and beaches? Sounds like his kind of spot.
Caleb’s been guiding Get Smarter Prep since 2012 (President since 2022), blending his test-prep expertise, enrollment know-how, and that fantasy-sports-guru energy to help students hit their goals. Thanks for the fun peek into his life—shows even the pros have great stories! If you’re prepping for ACT/SAT or college apps, connect with him or the team.
