Dan Conway

A tenacious third-generation entrepreneur, I built four thriving businesses—two leading ceramic tile contracting firms and a $3.5M paintball retail empire—driven by relentless hustle and wisdom from industry mentors. As a master ceramic tile craftsman, I delivered flawless commercial and residential projects, setting benchmarks for precision and quality. My self-taught expertise in construction project auditing and cost estimation, honed through collaboration with business pros, skyrocketed a flooring company from $1.5M to $3.5M in two years via a strategic merger, securing a 99.9% accounts receivable rate through relentless client relationships, understanding their needs to forge unbreakable bonds. I mastered Sage 200, programming a Power Takeoff database to cut $10K in overhead and a Purchase Ordering System saving $30K in vendor overcharges. With a $50K investment in cutting-edge gear, I transformed my nature photography passion into a profitable venture, showcasing bold adaptability. I’ve moved on from photography as stock agencies underpay for image rights, and digital cameras’ auto modes enabled amateurs to flood the market with subpar images, diminishing the value of professional craftsmanship.
