Our Team
We have a great group of people making Kangaroo Coffee hop. We take pride in our KC Workplace Culture. Our Baristas pour not only a tasty drink, but also their hearts into their work. It’s reflected in the relationships they foster and community they create. Our Operations and Community Engagement team know the business, literally, inside and out, paying attention to all the details while leading the company forward. Together, we bring out the best in each other and those that count on us for a bit of sunshine (or caffeine) every day.

Chief Executive Officer
DOUG HAMMOND
Doug brings 40+ years of business leadership experience to Kangaroo Coffee in his role as Chief Executive Officer. A serial entrepreneur, he has launched and led an array of businesses, social enterprises, and not-for-profit organizations all committed to the common good. As a sustainable business consultant, he has designed strategic roadmaps, organizational models and operational platforms for a diverse array of local, regional, national and global entities.
He has also been integral to the founding, development and leadership of prominent national and international sustainable business associations including Business for Social Responsibility, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies and the American Sustainable Business Council. In addition he has served in leadership board positions for numerous education, environmental and social justice community organizations.
Initially, Doug began his work with Kangaroo Coffee in 2015 as a consultant and then fell in love with the company and the Springs. He assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer and General Instigator in 2016. In his “free time” you’ll find him on the basketball court, golf course or best of all, goofing around with his two remarkable grandchildren while enjoying a fine cup of Kangaroo Coffee.

ELISHA KASTORFF
Elisha was born in Denver and has lived in Colorado her entire life. She found her love for coffee in 2014 while working at her parent’s cafe and has been in the industry ever since. When she’s not making coffee she can be found curled up with her cats, a good book… oh, and probably a latte.

TYSON PETERSON
It only took one meeting with Doug for Tyson to know Kangaroo was a different business altogether. Kangaroo’s mission of sustainability and social contribution motivated and inspired him. By day, rain or shine, he keeps the wheels greased at Kangaroo. By night he tries to find out which colors to paint his fantasy miniatures.

Administrative Director
ROBIN TIEMENS
Robin brings extensive administrative experience with her to the Kangaroo family, and she is very excited about being part of this exceptional team! After hours you’ll find her gardening, spending time with family and pets, and enjoying beautiful Colorado. Robin truly believes a cup of coffee shared with friends is time well spent.

Social Media Coordinator
SOPHIA
Meet Sophia, our resident social media wizard and recovering iced coffee addict. Once betrayed by cold brews that gave her dramatic stomach aches, she’s now fully healed and funneling that chaotic caffeine energy into running our Instagram. When she’s not crafting the perfect caption, she’s probably overanalyzing latte art or asking if a croissant can be a personality. Give her a follow—she swears it’s not just pics of her cat (but no promises).
