About Us
About Our Business
PRC was originally conceived in 2004 and has come a long way since conception.
Established in 2007, Pacific Roast Coffee was created as a joint venture by David
Sherman and Chris Killingstad with the goal of offering superior service and the
highest quality coffee for its consumers, at reasonable prices. Working together the
two have continued to build upon PRC's initial success and look forward to many
more years of business.
Roastmaster David Sherman is the Chief Executive Officer, President, Head of Sales and
Marketing, and Web Designer of Pacific Roast Coffee. David is a career firefighter in
Snohomish County and loves the contrast between being a firefighter and a business
owner. For the last five years it has been his goal to make great coffee at a competitive
price for his friends, family, and customers to enjoy. To take PRC from conception to reality
David chose his longtime family friend, Chris Killingstad, to help bring the company to where
it is today.
Roastmaster Chris Killingstad is the Chief Financial Officer, Vice-
President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Head Roastmaster of Pacific Roast
Coffee. Chris is a math instructor at Everett Community College, has a
Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Mathematics from University of
Washington and a Master’s of Science degree in Mathematics from
Western Washington University. Prior to his teaching position, Chris
tutored math and physics for several years.
Both Chris and David believe strongly in giving back to the community and have volunteered
their time as coaches for local schools. David was a junior high football coach for two years
and Chris was a high school swim coach for five years and a volunteer for Search and
Rescue for two years. For more info on community involvement by the company, visit PRC
