One of the seven core values at Peach Coffee Roasters is EMPOWERMENT.  At Peach, every team member is empowered to make decisions in the absence of direct supervision.  This was an important lesson that Co-Founder David Pittman learned as a Platoon Leader on the battlefields of Iraq.  In 2004, a young First Lieutenant Pittman had direct oversight of a 40 Soldier platoon stationed in a remote combat outpost 30 miles from his higher headquarters.  Radio communication were unreliable which made it difficult to receive guidance from his commander, but his orders were simple, “In the absence of direction make decisions” as failure to do so could cost lives.  David learned that lesson well and has carried it with him from that time forward.  We believe empowering individuals is the most fundamental value in building a strong, cohesive team. We have used this value to build exactly that team at Peach. A team of twelve amazing individuals that are EMPOWERED to make decisions that continue to grow and develop our company into the experience that you expect.
