Madelyn Pegg

Madelyn is a 2022 graduate of Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas. Following her graduation, she joined the PSB team in June of 2022. Like many of us, she has grown up in the industry and spent much of her childhood riding four-wheelers on trails just outside of her hometown. Madelyn especially enjoys listening to dealership owners and employees as they share their industry experiences and wisdom, then writing feature stories about these professionals so others can learn from them too.
