Pearce Phinney’s journey has just begun. The Prattville Christian Academy senior has earned an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, an honor that will jump start his goal of becoming a U.S. Marine Corps officer and alter the course of his life.
“The military has really been in the back of my mind for pretty much my entire life,” said Pearce. He’s the son of Col. Todd Phinney, a U.S. Air Force pilot. For Pearce and the rest of the family — his dad, mom Sharen, and older siblings Trevor and Savannah — it’s been an international life. The family lived for three years in Germany after a brief stint in Pennsylvania, which followed four years in Italy.
The career path just may be in his bloodline.
