A coach since 1991, Pearson spent the beginning of his professional career as an assistant varsity and head junior varsity coach at Towanda Area High School (1991-1994) in Towanda, Pennsylvania. From there, Pearson moved closer to home when he accepted a linebacker and wide receiver coaching position at his , South Williamsport Area High School (1994-1997) in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Collecting league championships with both institutions, Pearsons next step was a defensive coordinator position with 29 Palms High School (1997-1998) of 29 Palms, California, and a head coaching position at Yucca Valley High School (1999-2000) in Yucca Valley, California. Between the two institutions, Pearsons teams appeared in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs in three of four seasons.   Coach Pearsons stint on the West Coast came to an end in 2001 with another return to his native Williamsport, where he joined the staff at his collegiate , Lycoming College (2001-2008) as a wide receivers coach. There he coached ten All-Middle Athletic Conference (MAC) performers, five D3Football.com East Regional All-Americans, three D3Football.com All-Americans including Sean McGinley, and Father Judge High School graduates, Sean Hennigar and Ricky Lannetti.     After collecting a MAC Championship and a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Championship Tournament appearance in 2003, Pearson served his second term at South Williamsport Area High School (2008-2011), this time assuming head coaching responsibilities while also serving as the 2009 and 2011 District IV North All-Star Team and president of the District IV Coaches Association.   Pearsons successes at his ushered in a foray to the CSFL as a defensive back, wide receiver, and tight end coach for Mansfield Universitys inaugural sprint football program (2011-2014). He served on staff with the Mounties for three seasons before taking on defensive back duties at Lock Haven University in 2014.   A former wide receiver, cornerback, and kicker at South Williamsport Area High School (1983-1985), Pearson served as a team captain while earning First Team All-West Branch League (1985) and Blue Chip Recruiting All-State honors (1985) with the Mountaineers.
