Matt Peyton
Matt began his involvement with the Adventurers in 2012 when, through The Peyton Family Foundation he established the Kathleen Anna Norton Scholarship. Matt’s wish for the scholarship is that no individual deserving of attending The Adventurer’s Academy of Lifelong Learning is ever denied that chance because of financial reasons. Matt resides in Minnesota; he is happily married and has three wonderful children. He graduated from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in International Business.
