AU #277: Racing, Resilience, and Smart Homes: Insights from Dan Woody
This is Automation Unplugged and I’m Ron Callis. Our guest today is Dan Woody, President of ResTech Systems. Dan began his journey in the Home Technology Industry in 1991, following his service in the US Navy, which he joined through the Sea College tuition program. Along with three entrepreneurial friends from elementary school, Dan co-founded a wireless home security business, Appollo Security Co. As the company’s offerings expanded to include comprehensive home and business technology systems, they rebranded as Appollo Systems. Under Dan’s leadership, the company grew to over 100 team members and surpassed $15M in revenue, thriving until the recession of 2008-2011 significantly impacted the industry. In 2012, the business was restructured, and with his partners retiring, Dan launched a new entity, ResTech Systems. Today, ResTech Systems is a team of 15, delivering luxury-level home and business technology solutions. We recorded this episode at the end of September.
