He graduated cum laude with a BS in Product Design. He was chosen to study with noted sculp- tor, Jose de Rivera, and one of his pieces was selected for an exhibition at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Upon graduating, Peeler worked for Irvin Industries, Inc, in Raleigh, then Sybron Cor- poration, then finally the Jobst Institute in Toledo, OH. Jobst moved their headquar- ters to Charlotte in 1993 and he continued working there until his retirement in 2004. After Peeler retired, he began painting instruction with Elizabeth Ross and CPCC concentrating and developing his very real- istic and detailed style of painting.
