Dan is a third-generation bridge builder, 2nd generation concrete pumper, and first-generation engineer. He has 27 years of construction and concrete experience with a passion for improving infrastructure and improving daily life (and commutes!). Dan has worked as a contractor in an experimental capacity with the Indiana Department of Transportation and Universities to seek out new and innovative means, methods and materials used in the construction industry. Most recently Dan has been a part of an initiative to improve concrete performance, workability, and lifecycle for concrete used in Indiana Heavy Highway Infrastructure by implementing changes to the design and specification of concrete as it relates to nano silica in concrete. More specifically, the uses of E5 and Liquid Fly Ash as well as other topical solutions involving nano silica. Dan is a lover of SMART infrastructure, and all things that go along with it! He is married to his wife of 18 years, Hillary, and has 3 boys that are actively trying to kill him 78% of the time.
