Daniel Garlen

I am a semi-retired engineer, educator and small-business owner. In 1992, a partner and I founded a tech company that designed and built automated weighing systems. I now operate this business myself.

Since joining SCORE in 2021, I help entrepreneurs in the areas of information technology, programming and engineering.

After I became a grandfather, I had the opportunity to return to school. I earned a master’s degree in engineering management from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science, co-sponsored by the Wharton School of Business.

In my free time, I volunteer offering technical support at LandHealth Institute, an environmental educational nonprofit that connects people and nature; and I dive with sharks – real sharks! – at the Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium in Camden.
