Prior to his arrival at Oakland City University, Peck coached at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri, leading the Wildcats for two seasons, including a record of 6-11-1 (.361) in 2010, tied for the most single season wins in school history while marking the highest winning percentage in over a decade. The Wildcats had six all-conference players, three NSCAA All-Central Region Academic and one Dakstats NAIA All-American student during Peck's tenure. The 2010 team was honored with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Academic All-American Team award.

Prior to Culver-Stockton, Peck was hired to start the National Junior College Collegiate Association (NJCAA) Division I program in 2005 at Jefferson College in Hillsboro, Missouri. He coached the Vikings for four seasons, leading them to an overall record of 73-20-7 (.785), including winning the 2006 NJCAA Division I Junior College National Championship. The national championship was and is the first and only in the college's 46 year history.

During his four years at Jefferson College, the Vikings won one conference championship, four Region XVI championships, made four Sweet Sixteen, three Elite Eight, one Final Four and one national championship game appearances. In Peck's last season, the Vikings finished with a 19-4-1 record while gaining a Sweet Sixteen appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament.

Peck's head coaching career started in 2000 at East Central College in Union, Missouri after two and a half seasons as the team's assistant coach. He led the Rebels to a 2003 NJCAA third place finish at the national tournament, won four consecutive Region XVI championships, made four Sweet Sixteen, one Elite Eight, one Final Four appearances while maintaining a 74-30-8 (.712) record in five seasons with the program. In his last season, the rebels were 19-3-0. The national finish is still the highest in the institution's history. Peck's overall NJCAA record is 147-50-15 (.746) with an impressive graduation rate of better than 93%.

Peck was named National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas National Coach of the Year in both 2003 and 2006. In 2003, he became the first NJCAA Division I soccer coach to win the honor without winning the national championship. In nine seasons as a NJCAA head coach, Peck has garnered two Midwest Community College Athletic Conference championships, eight Region XVI championships in a row, eight Sweet Sixteen appearances in a row, four Elite Eight appearances, two Final Four appearances and one National championship. He has also received two Midwest Community College Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Eight Region XVI Coach of the Year, three NSCAA Central Region Coach of the Year and one Coach of the National Tournament in addition to his two NSCAA National Coach of the Year honors.

In his eleven years as a head coach, Peck has coached eight NSCAA All-Americans, twenty-five NSCAA All-South Region Players, seven NJCAA All-Americans, forty-eight All-Region XVI Players, five Region XVI players of the Year, forty-nine MCCAC All-Conference Players, four NSCAA All-South players of the year and eight All-Tourney Players at Nationals.
