Taiden Asher Pierce, also known as “Tater Tot” or “TP”, is the son of Brett and Stacey Pierce. Taiden has an older sister, Kamryn, and 3 younger siblings: Kiersten, Kalea, and Tyler. Some of Taiden’s favorite things are the color blue, lasagna, garlic bread, and the movie Cars 2. In his free time, Taiden enjoys hanging out with friends, playing frisbee golf, and playing video games. Taiden's skills include having a good memory, being good at math, and playing sports because “the technique of them just comes easy to me.”
Taiden has always been in the Madison Central School district. While here, he has participated in marching and concert band, tennis, cross country, basketball, National Honor Society, Key Club, and FCA. A high school job Taiden has had is working for his family's construction business. Taiden says he “enjoys seeing the progress and completion of the projects.” If Taiden had the chance to spend 5 million dollars, he would invest 1 million in a nice house, buy a trampoline park, and give the rest to his family members. If Taiden could live anywhere in the world, he would live somewhere in Canada, so he could see the Northern Lights.
After graduating high school, Taiden considers attending South Dakota School of Mines for electrical engineering, and taking life from there. Some advice Taiden would give to underclassmen is to “organize your homework if you plan on procrastinating.” In 10 years, Taiden sees himself with a steady career, married with children, and with a house in Madison or in a town of a similar size.
