Dana's life was defined by love for his family and friends, dedication to his work, and the courage to build a bright future through perseverance and vision. From his roots in New York to his career across the North and Southeast and his co-founding of Titan Service and Equipment Repair, Dana leaves behind a legacy of hard work, loyalty, and meaningful impact.
Dana graduated from Princeton High School in 2002 with honors. Throughout his career, he held many positions with various dewatering companies across the North and Southeast regions of the United States, building a reputation for hard work, dependability, and a deep knowledge of the industry. Dana was known as the "go-to" guy within his field, and many companies looked to his technical know-how and guidance to help build cost-effective, robust dewatering and bypass systems.
In 2023, Dana along with his wife founded Titan Service and Equipment Repair, located in Clayton, North Carolina. Although the business was new, the future was bright. Dana took great pride in helping build something meaningful, and his vision, skill, and commitment helped lay the foundation for continued success.
