Dan founded TAI on March 18, 1989. He entered the industry fifteen years prior, through a cooperative education program at Drexel University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. He completed his cooperative education at Koppers Company, which then hired him full-time. At Koppers, he managed one of the firm’s largest single contracts in history.
