Community
Outside of work, Peyton enjoys spending time with his friends, including going on annual spring break trips. Past destinations have included Palm Beach and Busch Gardens, and they are planning a trip to Costa Rica for their senior year Spring Break with their families. It’s an excellent way for him to relax and create lasting memories.
Peyton is also actively involved in several clubs: he is a member of the AHS Engineering Society, AHS National Honor Society, and co-founder of AHS “All Stars”—a club dedicated to raising funds and supporting children in need, particularly through initiatives related to adaptive sports and recreational therapy programs at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and other local hospitals.
His hobbies include serving as a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster of BSA Troop 118, which has taught him a great deal about leadership and outdoor skills, and playing golf, which provides a fun challenge and enjoyable outdoor activity.
Peyton’s favorite saying, inspired by his uncle Steven Ross, is, “I was raised by a family of hard workers. I have always strived to exceed their expectations.”
