Combining Military service and private sector experience, Dana is uniquely positioned to help JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care franchisees jump-start their businesses.

Dana belongs to a very small community of women who have served as a Munitions Systems Specialist, a predominantly male field. She was honorably discharged from the Air Force after four years of service, during which she served under the historic 8th Air Force Headquarters, 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport, LA, and at the 52nd Fighter Wing on Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.

Dana comes from a strong legacy of military service. Most notably, her uncle, Ken Baldwin, served as an Army Paratrooper in WWII in the 101st Airborne, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Easy Company, and was an original member of the ‘Band of Brothers.’
