In 2009, Dan left his senior management position at IKO Industries, an international roofing manufacturer based in Toronto, ON, to establish Asphalt Shingle Recycling (ASR) Systems. His vision was to be a part of a roofing industry circular solution.

He developed a more efficient, mechanical recycling method, which separates asphalt roofing shingles, made of six raw materials, into two streams of re-usable materials, with less than 7% waste. The work is recognized by the US Patent and Trade Office awarding Dan with three utility patents, a fourth patent on equipment design and a fifth patent on centrifuge extraction.

He is a recognized leader and member of the Construction and Demolition Recycling Association, a speaker at recycling events and conferences, and a regular guest lecturer at Virginia Tech. He continues to partner with recyclers and manufacturers to drive transformation in the industry across North America.
