George has over 65 years of experience in field and shop mechanics, downhole-drilling, pumping units, dam building, water-well drilling, industrial plants, and precision machining for new fabrication and rebuilt equipment and parts. He enjoys a challenge taking on jobs that others couldn’t complete or jobs that had never been done. George values the customer knowing their job will be completed with the highest quality work. He offers dependability to his customers that is unmatched. After a long life and career of pushing himself to the extreme, he has passed the reins of Payton Machine & Supply to the new generation, including his son and grandchildren.

He also enjoys spending more time at home with Lois and their two dogs, Sister and Yoda.
