Our Team
We have a great group of people making Kangaroo Coffee hop. Our Baristas pour not only a great 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.

Inventory Coordinator
TYLER CHAPMAN
Tyler is the Inventory Coordinator and an event representative at Kangaroo Coffee. Tyler’s favorite thing about working at Kangaroo Coffee is the sense of community a simple cup can bring. His favorite drink is a doppio, and if he’s feeling extra spicy, a half scoop if cocoa powder added to it.
If Tyler could go anywhere in the world, he’d strap his mountain bike to his car and drive to Whistler, Canada. His favorite location in the Springs is high up in the hills of Section 16.
