Dan Horgan's Linkedin Analytics

Welcome to my story. 👋 It's a rich tapestry of experiences, where diversity has been the center of my growth. My skill set is a combination of digital marketing, communications, social media management, influencer collaboration, event management, corporate partnerships, and business development. Beyond my professional pursuits, I'm a constellation of passions: veteran nonprofits, archery, the great outdoors, and the exciting world of coffee and beer. Aligning with brands authentically is my creed. Among these, veteran advocacy holds a profound place in my heart. And then there's archery – a solace that I invite everyone to embrace as a path to being epic! 🙌 With over 20 years in the United States Air Force, my roles were kaleidoscopic – from guarding missile fields as a Security Police Fire Team Leader to patrolling the skies in the E-3 AWACS as an Air Surveillance Technician. Then, safeguarding Air Force assets as a Security Forces Raven (#889), and ultimately embracing combat missions as a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) member, earning my Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) qualification. This journey took me to southern Afghanistan, supporting 10th Mountain Division combat operations. Guiding teams of four to twenty became second nature during my Air Force tenure. A standout moment was leading my TACP technical school class (Hawk 75), defying a 50% wash-out attrition rate. Being a Special Warfare Airman demands unwavering grit, determination, focus, and peak fitness. Alongside my Air National Guard service, I embarked on a parallel adventure as a Baltimore City Police Officer. Seven years spanned a spectrum from Patrol to Special Enforcement Teams, and from citywide narcotics in VCID to SWAT operations. A unique aspect was legally buying heroin multiple times. 🤣 Taking flight again, I engaged in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions on the King Air 300 aircraft, elevating to Site Lead at Bagram and Kandahar, Afghanistan. Central to my narrative is my pride as a military spouse, married for over 22 years to a fellow U.S. Air Force member. Our journey led us to Texas, where I landed my dream role at Black Rifle Coffee Company. Here, I delved into brand awareness, marketing, and social media, serving as "The Hand" to the CEO, an immensely rewarding experience. My journey signifies resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
