He holds a master’s degree in business administration from Seattle University, a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington, and the CPCU designation from The Institutes. 

“USAA is making significant investments to transform our capabilities, processes, infrastructure, and the way we work to ensure we’re prepared to meet our members’ needs today and into the future,” USAA president and CEO Wayne Peacock said.
