MEET JODY
Jody Pierce was inspired to create The Explorer Guild after discovering how powerful meaningful outdoor adventures can be when navigating life’s changes and challenges.
As a stepparent to a young autistic adult and grandparent to a child with disabilities, Jody has a deep understanding of how important it is to provide safe, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable experiences for this community.
She has over 20 years of healthcare leadership experience with Main Line Health HomeCare & Hospice. She began her career in therapeutic recreation helping adults with traumatic brain injuries.
