About Us

Meet The Founders

The origin of Peak HR dates back to 2010, when Eric Chakirelis and Evan Collart founded PEO Advisors. Having witnessed the urgent needs that most at-risk businesses faced when securing workers’ compensation, payroll, employee benefits, etc combined with a passion for helping business owners succeed the company has evolved and thrived over nearly a decade and a half.

Today, Peak HR is a family-owned business headquartered in Dunedin, Florida. Our service team has over 50 years of combined PEO Industry experience. Our staff has the expertise to help you manage today’s complex world of business. Here at Peak, we have a vested interest in your success, and we want to be the trusted partner who enables you to focus on serving your customers with the highest level of service.

Eric has worked in the PEO industry for over 14 years. Co-founding PEO Advisors in 2010, Eric quickly adapted to the multi-faceted fast pace of the PEO business. Using his new innovative methods has led to a proven track record of success on growing our sales processes. Eric, also is co-creator and producer of Everything PEO! airing Wednesdays at 6pm on Money Talk 1010am.

Eric attended the University of Toledo. With his entrepreneurial spirit coming early, Eric found himself investing in real estate at a young age ultimately leading to the creation of his real estate appraisal firm. After the real estate crash in 2008, Eric relocated to FL to find his calling of connecting business owners with PEOs! When Eric is out of the office you may catch him at the gym or at the park with his dogs.

Co-Founder

Evan has worked in the PEO industry for nearly 25 years. Starting with a small PEO brokerage out of Delray Beach FL, Evan was taught a very hands-on approach through all phases of the PEO process. This diverse approach has given Evan a unique understanding of the PEO industry.

Evan has founded and sold multiple seven-figure PEO brokerages over the years. Evan co-founded PEO Advisors in 2010, which is currently one of Florida’s largest PEO brokerages. Currently, Evan hosts a weekly radio show on Money Talk 1010am (Broadcasting in the Tampa Bay area), called Everything PEO! Also, author of Workers’ Comp Made Easy. When Evan isn’t helping a business maximize their full potential with a PEO, you may catch him with his son at a Buccaneers game or biking the Pinellas Trail.
