I am Jennifer Grogan and I have been with Peak Events for one year. My mother started the company in 2001 and I have helped in the past with the Flagstaff Ranch Grand Opening and the Flagstaff Oktoberfest. It wasn’t until last year that I decided to go full time into Peak Events.
I grew up here in Flagstaff, went to Northern Arizona University where I majored in Public Relations with a minor in Advertising. I love Flagstaff so much that I’ve decided to continue to make it my home. My family is here, my friends and a community that I love. After graduating NAU I went to work for an online cabinet company and learned a lot about Marketing and the online world. Soon I was engulfed in the local construction industry doing marketing again for a small local engineering firm. In January 2009 I was laid off due to the lack of building and that’s when I decided it was time I joined my mother. I couldn’t let her have all the fun! I haven’t looked back since. This job is a dream! I get to plan parties, work from home and enjoy the occasional afternoon cocktail party instead of working! It really doesn’t get any better than that!
I am happy to say that despite people’s reactions my mother and I work very well together, now that’s not to say we don’t get on each other’s nerves but we manage to get the job done and have fun while doing it. Christina Clark is our wedding planner and my dear friend. She is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet and I can’t wait for the day when she is officially full time with Peak Events.
So I do have other hobbies outside of planning parties! I have 2 boxer dogs, Rocky is 6 years old and Marci is 2 years old. I’ve attached some of my favorite pictures of the two of them.
They are hilarious and bring me such joy. I really enjoy the Flagstaff winters, I have grown up on this mountain and I love the snow. I wish we got more snow! I have been skiing for years and used to even compete when I was younger. It’s a fun sport that I wish I had more time for. In the summer you can usually find me on Lake Powell! My family and I have been going to Lake Powell for over 20 years. The water is so blue and calm; the views are just breath taking. There is nothing like sitting on the beach at Lake Powell with a beer in your hand watching the scenery and of course my dogs!
Thanks!
