Growing up, Peyton played many sports and had a love for basketball, something that would always be an important part of his life. In highschool, Peyton woud tear his ACL,MCL, and meniscus pads in his right knee. As a result, he would undergo two surgeries to fix his knee. Although the surgery had fixed his knee, Peyton would never feel the same again, and would ultimately decide to walk away from basketball, which would end up being the hardest thing he ever had to do.Realizing basketball was no longer in his future was a hard pill to swallow, and would take months to come to terms with.
Peyton would find himself overweight, unhappy and feeling like he had no dreams, passions or future. After seeing himself in a mirror one day looking like a shell of his old-self, Peyton decided to pick up a dumbbell in his basement and started lifting, something that was foreign to him up until that day. Soon enough Peyton realized he loved lifting and the way it made him feel. However, he saw that the internet was filled with false hopes and promises of what people were telling him he could look like in a few months if he just did certain things. He hated that social media is filled with inexperienced teens who take substances trying to sell products that are backed with fake promises. His goal as a natural body builder is to promote the truths of transforming your body while giving expert advise and helping you become the best version of yourself.
