David Pittman and I started Peach Coffee Roasters with one thing in mind - reward sweat equity. We believe that by developing a sustainable small business model, we can provide livable wages across an entire team. It takes some key values: Deliberate, Humble, and Punctual.

Bronnie's Coffee Tech has been part of the Atlanta coffee community for several years. Its original founders even have further ties to one of the former iconic coffee companies in the city - Octane Coffee. The founders were ready to close up shop after years of coffee service. With the help of Peach Coffee Roasters, 10-year technician veteran, Caleb Hall, took over Bronnie's with the hope to continue providing excellent coffee equipment service. Specifically, Caleb was focused on providing top notch coffee equipment service tailored to small shops and roasters. Bronnie's is seen as the best service provider in Atlanta and well known throughout the coffee technician community.

I proudly assist the Pope Greyhounds Football Team as a former student and player. After returning to North Georgia from five years in college athletics, I was missing a key element in my life that ultimately has brought me much of my success, the team sport atmosphere. I decided to give back to my former community by teaching aspiring student athletes how to pursue excellence, both on and off the field. You cannot be an A+ athlete if you are a C- student. Excellence is a lifestyle.
