Jeffrey Austin Peck was born in Hawaii on April 9, 1971. He moved to San Francisco at the age of 4 and Los Angeles at the age of 8. At the urging of friends and a commercial agent in Los Angeles, Peck began modeling and pursuing television and film roles at the age of 16. His commercial debut was in commercial for Kelloggs' Pop-tarts. Two years and several photo shoots later, Peck found himself modeling in Paris, Milan, Morocco, the Virgin Islands and Rome. He then appeared in fashion layouts for many publications, such as Esquire, GQ, Vogue Hommes and British Vogue.

Returning to Los Angeles at 19, Peck began training theatrically with Milton Stevens at the Stella Adler Conservatory. He later moved to New York City, where he studied with Sherry Landrum and Terry Somner at the New Actors Workshop and with Richard Southern at Three of Us Studios. Peck immediately relocated back to Los Angeles upon landing the role of romantic and daring boxer-turned-executive Austin Reed on Days of Our Lives in April 1995.

Peck stays active by boxing and rollerblading. An accomplished cartoonist, he enjoys sketching caricatures of family members, friends and co-stars. He also enjoys music and considers his taste eclectic.
