Meet the Team; Assistant Manager, Jonathan Leach!


We are proud to announce that our very own, Jonathan Leach, was recently promoted to Assistant Manager, here at Peak-Inc.! Jon has been with us for a little over a year and a half now, and his drive, ambition and passion for success helped propel him into management.



Jonathan was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming on May 6th 1988.  He grew up competing in the sports of soccer, basketball, paintball and tae kwon do.  He has an older sister (38) and younger brother (20) who live in Aurora, CO and Hartford, CT respectively.

Jon partakes in hobbies ranging from fitness (running and weightlifting), concerts, watching live sporting events, cooking, video games, movies, and, of course, spoiling his Jack Russell Terrier. His dog, Chief celebrated his 8th birthday on May 10th.  He is the first dog Jon has owned, and it’s safe to say these two are pretty close!


Jonathan relocated to Colorado in August of 2009 to continue his academic career at Colorado State University.  In May of 2012 he graduated Summa Cum Laude with his B.A. in Business with a concentration on Marketing. (Way to go, Jon!!)  Shortly after graduation, He met Eric Norregaard and began working with Peak Incorporated.    

“Peak Incorporated has helped me develop into a successful young professional.  I have drastically developed personally and professionally over the past couple years.”, says Jonathan Leach, of Peak-Inc. “The skills and tools that I’ve acquired at Peak have far surpassed any of the prior training or schooling I received at other companies and institutions.  Much of the success of the office derives from Eric’s passion for helping individuals realize, then fulfill their true potential.”    


         Jonathan’s future career goals consist of continuing to grow and develop everyday, while learning the skills and tools necessary to be successful. He will be looking to move to the west coast of the United States in the next 6 months to continue managing an office. Eventually, he would like to look at international prospects later in his career and move to Europe.

Check out What's Brewing at Peak Inc!


      A few of the guys from the office decided to get together on a Sunday to create something everybody loves.... beer!  We examined a few different types of recipes and determined that an India Pale Ale would suit our tastes best.  We did, however, spice it up a bit and created a more Americanized India Pale Ale using typical American hops, most notably Citra and Centennial.  We added a few Magnum hops to give it a nice bitter note as well.  
       We did a partial mash and extract brew to help cut down on the brewing time, which despite our best efforts, still took over 6 hours!  We steeped some secret specialty grains for about a half an hour to really add some body to the beer.  The smell of mashed grains in Eric's place was amazing!  After mashing, we threw the whole thing into our brew pot and cranked up the heat, boiling the beer for an hour.  During the boiling process, we added our hops. After that hour, we killed the heat and waited for our beer to cool.  It was 28 degrees outside and it still took 3 hours for the beer to get down to the correct temperature to pitch our yeast!  
       After thoroughly sanitizing our fermenting tank, we transferred the beer and pitched our yeast.  It took about two days for the fermentation to really get going.  We're expecting a super flavorful AIPA with an alcohol by volume right around seven percent.  We should be able to bottle it in about a week!  The name for our concoction?  I “Peak” A of course! Stay tuned to see how it comes out!
