Pierce Louis

Pierce Louis (Col ’01) launched Dirt Hugger, a regional composting company based in the Pacific Northwest that turns organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, as a startup in 2010. Dirt Hugger has since composted more than 20,000 tons of material previously destined for landfills and has sold over 10,000 yards of organic compost to 825 unique farmers, growers and gardeners. The company is currently raising funds for a new facility that will help create a long-term composting infrastructure.
