Peyton Gentry
Peyton Gentry joined the Payne & Mencias Group at Merrill in 2020. As a financial advisor, he works with clients, often across multiple generations, to develop strategic plans for long term wealth management. On the surface, his approach is simple: Work with great families, always do the right thing, and provide the best service to help them achieve great success in every aspect of their financial lives. He strives to aid in every aspect of the financial lives of his clients. Utilizing the bench strength of both the Payne & Mencias Group and Bank of America, while also connecting with CPAs and attorneys, he ensures that the complex needs that clients bring to the table are handled with accuracy and efficiency.
Peyton attended the Kelley School of Business at Indiana, University, Bloomington, graduating with a degree in Finance and a focus in Wealth Management. In 2021, he obtained his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification. He strives to maintain a strong focus on continuing education.
Peyton resides in Jasper, Indiana but spends a great deal of time in Terre Haute and Indianapolis with his fiancé, Libby Bell, as she completes medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine. While their lives are uniquely busy, they enjoy always trying to find new things to do together.
Outside of the office, Peyton is involved in several organizations. He holds a deep belief that everyone should place an emphasis on community involvement and volunteerism. Organizations that he has the privilege to work with include Heart of Jasper (Board Member), Young Professional Network of Southern Indiana (Board Member), Mentors for Youth (Mentor for a terrific young man), Dubois County Community Foundation (Investment Committee Member), and Jasper High School Girls Soccer (Varsity Assistant Coach). He is proud to have logged over 300 volunteer hours in 2023. Peyton also works to be very active physically and as an Eagle Scout, enjoys spending time outdoors be it hunting, fishing (Canada Trips are his favorite!), or general exploration.

Communication is instrumental to managing life's challenges. That's why I work to engage you and your family in the financial decision-making process. Communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult subject of wealth can be a challenge. I can help facilitate these discussions and offer personalized financial strategies designed to educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
