About Us

Meet the brothers behind Discoverling

We're Graham Peyton & David Peyton - two brothers who grew up in South Africa & enjoyed tinkering with gadgets, LEGOs and all the things kids love. We've begun compiling a list of our favorite gadgets and toys, showing them to our kids, and capturing the experiences on video. We hope you enjoy our journey!

Graham Peyton is an electrical engineer and aspiring children’s author. He completed his undergraduate and masters degrees in biomedical & electrical engineering in South Africa, before moving to the UK to complete his PhD. He now lives in Connecticut, USA, with his wife and 4 children, who inspired him to create an interactive children’s book focusing on his greatest scientific hero of the past: Thomas Edison. 

David Peyton is a chiropractor & IT director. He completed his clinical training at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa in 2011, after which he practiced privately and lectured part time at his alma mater. He moved to the United States in 2019 to work full time developing educational content & IT training platforms for healthcare providers. David now lives in Michigan, USA with his wife and 2 children.
