The luck of the Irish.
Don Brogan founded Brogan Outdoor Advertising in Northern, Indiana.
His Son, Dan Brogan has successfully carried on his father's dream and grown the company.
Don was an Account Executive for National 3M. He worked with Tom Rainey (past owner of PERMA).
Don Brogan also brought in customers as a salesman for Lockridge Outdoor based in Pierceton, Indiana before starting his own billboard company.
A few years were spent partnering up with Bob Vandermark (Vandermark Signs) of Larwill, Indiana. They later parted ways and Brogan Outdoor continued to grow.
At eighteen years of age, I wanted to be great at sales like Don. He looked at me with his grin and jokingly said, "Dye your hair... grey kid!"
