Dan Casey - CEO & Founder

Dan's eclectic career includes research on drones and helicopters for NASA and the US Army, then progressed towards repairing and flying helicopters utilized in powerline construction. Further along his career arc , with a few successful startups and exits under his belt, Dan felt compelled with an obligation to make an impact and demonstrate a strong work-ethic and achievement to his two young children. The genesis for the large-format, pressurized grid battery developed in Dan's journal while repairing hurricane-damaged transmission power lines in Florida in 2005. These journal entries have since manifested into Dragon Q Energy's platform battery container with the aid of countless hours of work from all the "Dragons" who have teamed up to bring the climate-changing technology to life.
