He is the senior faculty member at Florida A&M University High School. He was born to Marcus and Lucinda Ross Peck and raised in Jefferson County, Florida. He graduated from JCHS in 1978. His art inspiration came early from images from books in his grandfather Mack Peck's library and later from school Art Encyclopedias.

Both of his parents passed away within four weeks of him enrolling, and he transferred to Florida A&M University to keep a promise to his mother to finish college. He has a BS degree in Fine Arts/Art Education and a master's in both Sports Management and Educational Leadership from Florida A&M University. Mr. Peck is very proud of the students he has had the opportunity to teach during his career; many of them have become Architects, engineers, and a few professional illustrators  Mr. Peck's colleagues and friends state that he has many talents. He is a writer/historian, exhibiting artist, community volunteer, and local Teacher's Union Unit leader. Mr. Peck has worked with the city of Tallahassee in Parks and Recreation, the Winter Festival, Community Centers, and Summer Art Programs. He has hosted several painting classes in the local area.

Dec. 24, 2023 ~ Host Dave Lorenz talks about fun activities at Michigan ski resorts, The Word of Winter Festival in Grand Rapids, the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, and the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Film Festival occurring the last week of January.

Holiday markets and festivals are great. The traffic we sit in to get to them is quite the opposite. If we built more of the walkable environments that we love (those which festivals replicate), we wouldn't have to sit in standstill traffic, merely to access them for a couple of hours. Also, U.S. traffic deaths are on the rise. It's a uniquely American predicament. Further context: The rise in U.S. traffic deaths (via NYT). The Columbus Zoo traffic jam, last weekend (via the Columbus Dispatch). Connecting with me, Brad: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On TikTok⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On LinkedIn⁠⁠.

Zappy Christmas!!! Or Winter Festival if you prefer, we return to cover the new Holiday banner and all that comes with their choices for who is on it. We also veer off into a bit of a tangent and speculate on what we could be getting for the New Year's banner.
