Education & Activities
During law school, Peyton interned at Marlow, Woodward & Huff, where he gained valuable experience and developed a strong connection to the firm’s mission and clients. Now, as a licensed attorney, he is proud to officially continue his work with MWH and serve the community he calls home.
A lifelong resident of Yankton, Peyton is honored to practice law in his hometown. He deeply values the sense of community that makes Yankton special and is passionate about giving back, especially to the next generation. He currently serves as Secretary on the Board of Directors for the Yankton Baseball Association and continues to coach Varsity and American Legion baseball.
Outside the office, Peyton enjoys officiating high school sports, cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Minnesota Twins, and Denver Broncos, and golfing (though he’s still working on his swing). He also loves to travel, spend time with his people, and can often be found supporting local athletics at YHS and Mount Marty University.
