Dan Copp was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in California, attended Canoga Park High School, Occidental College, and UCLA Graduate School of Business. He served as vice president of Tejon Ranch Co. and The Newhall Land and Farming Co. before becoming an independent industrial real estate developer. That's probably more than anyone should ever want to know about Dan Copp, but in the spirit of the new social media he reluctantly adds that he is left handed, his favorite snack is Cheezits, he was president of his high school and a nationally ranked pole vaulter. He once shook hands with Ronald Reagan at a fund raiser, and attended Elvis's Los Angeles concert in 1958. If you still need more in order to feel warm and fuzzy with Dan Copp he suggests you consider getting a Labradoodle. Please enjoy his writings.
