Axel’s 8th birthday at LaserDome!

Dan Sahd grew up in the scrap metal recycling business, as he started working in the yard at age 8! As the third generation of a scrap metal family he was able to learn the yard from the bottom up and those lessons have provided a solid foundation for the way he manages the yard today.

After earning a Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse University, dual majoring in Television Management and Political Science Dan started a 12 year career working in advertising sales in New York and Washington, DC. Dan returned to the family business when an opportunity presented itself in 2005. Dan has enjoyed leading the organization with his cousin Mike and has been very active in building relationships inside and outside the organization.

Dan is an active member of the ReMA Mid Atlantic Chapter Board and sits on the boards of the Lancaster Chamber and Columbia Economic Development Corporation. To learn a bit more about Dan, here are some podcasts he has been interviewed on:
