Peyton Horton

Scholastic Account Executive

"I am moved by the mission to change students' lives through gaming. This has never been about just the game and the tournaments but the positive impact we provide for the students' futures. It is an incredible feeling to see a school adopt the idea of esports, allow that idea to grow, and see the difference it makes in the students who participate."

I wanted to work in the gaming industry when I first started. I am moved by the mission to change students' lives through gaming. This has never been about just the game and the tournaments but the positive impact we provide for the students' futures. It is an incredible feeling to see a school adopt the idea of esports, allow that idea to grow, and see the difference it makes in the students who participate. From us, to the teacher, to the school and district, it is impactful for everyone involved.

I am from smalltown USA where the roots of hard work and dedication run deep. Caring for others and a willingness to help in any way possible has always been a personal mission of mine inside and outside of an office setting. I have a passion for gaming and continue to grow and connect with the industry I love. Coming from other industries, I have gained experience to contribute to esports and see everyone grow as a whole. My favorite games include: Call of Duty, Need for Speed, and NFL Street 2. If I can help others with a shared passion for gaming take a step in a direction that will change their life, that is a job well done for me.
