Glenn Spungen

President

“Smart companies recognize the harmony between the employee and the customer. When you take care of one, you take care of the other. At PEER Chain we take care of both with equal measure — because this is how lasting relationships work. And relationships are our passion.”

For 27 years, Glenn was Vice President of Sales & Operations at Peer Bearing Company. In 2012, Glenn became President of PEER Chain. He is a graduate of the Kelley School of Business at the University of Indiana. Glenn believes in transparent leadership and treating others — employees and customers alike — the way he would like to be treated. He also believes in making PEER Chain the definitive chain solution for the customer — both in terms of product availability and customer support. Happily married since 1991, Glenn and his wife have three wonderful children, and in his spare time, he enjoys Chicago Blackhawks hockey, travel, cycling, golf, and attending classic rock concerts.

Danny Spungen

Vice President Strategic Marketing

“Creativity in business is a game changer and a differentiator, whether you’re selling cars, cheese, or chain!”

Danny Spungen is power transmission! It’s in his DNA. Also in his DNA is a passion for teamwork and developing innovative and creative ways to go to market, as well as building mutually beneficial lasting relationships. Danny has been part of the PEER Chain family since working summers during college. He’s been fulltime since 1983. Danny is also passionate about philanthropy, World War II history, and an array of collectibles, including sports cards, stamps, Hot Wheels, and coins.

Danny has a very big vision of “family.”

Chuck Briere

Vice President of Strategic Alliances

“Family, family, family. What else is there to say?”

What do you say about a guy who has been in the bearing and power transmission business for over 40 years? Yes, besides being a little crazy! But here’s the thing. Chuck loves selling chain, and he loves working at PEER Chain. Why? Because chain is a technical product, and he enjoys the science of it. And PEER Chain is like a family — a family with principals, who have principles, personality, and character. Moreover, PEER Chain is dedicated to seeing its customers succeed as well as its industry grow. When Chuck isn’t moving chain, he’s attending his grandsons’ baseball, soccer and hockey games, reading, taking walks with his wife, Linda, who he has been with just as long as he’s been in this business. Oh, and here’s something else pretty cool about Chuck. Now a retired Colonel, Chuck served his country for 35 years in the Army Reserve, where he learned that people are and always will be our greatest asset.

Jeremy Fogo

Vice President of Product, Solutions & Experiences

“Treat others with kindness and respect, the rest will take care of itself.”

A consummate people person, Jeremy finds the work he does with his PEER Chain customers incredibly rewarding. Being able to solve challenges for the PEER Chain customer is something that gets Jeremy out of bed each morning, and he loves the culture and network of talented individuals with whom he works. Jeremy joined PEER Chain in 1997 as a Regional Sales Manager. He was then VP of Sales before assuming his current role of Product Manager. When he isn’t solving power transmission conundrums, Jeremy is all about his family. He and his wife have two teenagers who together love to travel, especially to Disney World. He also enjoys classic muscle cars and the great outdoors.

Kevin Shrout

National Sales Manager

“Success is a series of small actions taken repeatedly. It is never an accident!”

Prior to joining PEER Chain as National Sales Manager in 2018, Kevin spent the first 28 years of his professional career in Distribution Sales. He has a keen understanding of how to optimize supply chain capabilities and his focus throughout his work has been to build effective teams that meet the demands of industry challenges.

He enjoys analyzing systems and implementing creative solutions finding satisfaction in implementing effective and efficient methods across the business. Kevin also concentrates on long term co-worker and customer relationships to maximize business outcomes, end-user satisfaction and personal enjoyment.

Kevin is always in pursuit of continuing educational opportunities. He spends his off-work time cooking, playing guitar and spending time with his family.

And perhaps a dram of scotch occasionally.

Eric Ma

Manager of Engineering & Quality

“Delivering nothing less than precision to the PEER Chain customer is off the table.”

A more befitting title could not be given to Eric, unless it was too also include something about his strength of character. Engineering and quality is what Eric lives, breathes, and embodies day in and day out. Since coming to PEER Chain in 2010, he has thrived in his role because of his intellect, dedication, and motivation. Eric loves the family-owned business environment and leadership at PEER Chain, and finds it to be the perfect platform for exercising his knowledge and experience of the power transmission industry. Eric holds a B.S. in Material Science, an M.S. in Chemical Engineering, and another M.S. in Computer Science. And if that weren’t enough, he also is a Certified Professional for Supply Management (CPSM). When he isn’t developing precision chain solutions for our customers, Eric enjoys time with his wife and teenage son, as well as music and sports.
