Peep grew up in the Lubbock area and graduated from Monterey High School in 1961. He met the love of his life, Glenda Jean Matney in the summer of 1966 at Possum Kingdom Lake. They went to Vegas and got married on February 10, 1967.  They lived in Hereford and worked at Hereford Flying Service with his cousin, Gerald Martin.  He then moved back to Lubbock and began his career in sales. He worked in many industries, including car sales, travel trailers and steel. He moved to the Hill Country in October 2000, and began to work in the hardware business, and later moved to Junction to be closer to his grandkids and watch their many sports activities. He and Glenda began working on a ranch where they oversaw the deer and fawn feeding program. This is where he retired and then moved to town and lived his last years next door to his daughter and son-in-law.

He served in the Army Reserves for 6 years from 1963 to 1969 and was a member of the Masonic Lodge 1447 of Wolfforth, earning the degree of Master Mason in 1984.
