With over 25 years as a Government Contract Manager, specializing in the manufacture of automotive type parts working with the Dept. of Defense, U.S. Tank-Auto Command, GSA, AM General etc., Dan became familiar with the quality procedures and requirements of producing a quality product. For 13 years, Dan was store manager for AmesTaping Tools, in Overland Park, Kansas. During this time, over half the Ames stores were closed because of the economic crisis across the country, that hit the construction industry especially hard. Even though Dan's store was in a smaller market, he survived by working with his customers' needs, providing only quality products, and saving his customers money, even at the expense of his own profit levels. Today, Dan is still here to help the average individual worker, corporations, and small businesses with the same approach. By providing a large variety of quality tools at discounted prices, Dan's Shop is "Here to Help!!!"
