Founder
Bradley Pierson turns DNA into answers. As the founder of Trouvay, his passion lies in helping people find truth.
Raised in Edmonton, Bradley began tracing his family tree at age 13, sparking a lifelong passion for uncovering stories that connect people to their heritage and themselves.
When DNA testing became popular, he helped 100+ people find their birth parents before launching Trouvay to expand this mission.
Inspired by the story of Louise Laderoute, a once missing Indigenous woman from Edmonton, Bradley’s deepest passion is honoring the lives lost to the MMIP crisis and bringing the missing home.
