We’re successful because of the team we’ve built. Meet Michael McCormack, Senior Project Manager in PEAK’s East Coast Office.
Michael may be new to PEAK, but he has already become an essential asset to the PEAK team. Michael is growing the PEAK East Coast presence and fits right into our “Do the Right Thing” culture. When Michael is not at PEAK, he spends his time outdoors, captaining boats and teaching the vacationers of the Poconos how to ski!

Never quit; when things get hard, get focused and keep trying until you get the result you desire.

Seeing and being a part of the projects that are being built and the opportunity to estimate and run my own projects.
