Hi, I’m Piper. I’m the daughter of bee farmers.

I grew up on a 100-acre ranch in Cherokee, Texas. My mom, an interior designer, and her twin brother, an architect, designed our house inspired by the cottages in Seaside, Florida. My parents started bee farming in 2020 and now produce about 16 gallons of honey a year, or roughly 400 bottles.

Like bees to nectar, I have been instinctively attracted to everything creative. I paint portraits in acrylic, wrote & directed a queer horror/drama short film, read and analyze horror, queer, and gothic literature, am a yoga enthusiast, and am proficient in ASL.

My interests have thrown me in every direction, including becoming a nationally ranked pinball player. My sister, Adrian, and her husband, Brendan, are both among the top 15 pinball players in North Carolina. I competed with them in a tournament in Asheville in 2024, finished 34th out of 35 players, and am now ranked somewhere in the 800s nationally.

Ultimately, what gives me the most joy is talking with people. Give me a holler at piperogletree@gmail.com.
