For Dan Homan, the military has been a part of life for as long as he can remember. Joining the Army Reserves in 1991, Homan completed his basic training before even graduating high school. With such a long military career, it’s no wonder he has gained knowledge and insight into running a successful business. As owner and operator of O2 Green Carpet Cleaning in Clarksville, Homan relies on tried and true Army values to ensure that his customers receive the best service possible.
Transitioning to civilian entrepreneur life
Homan made the decision to commit to active duty in 1993 and began a lengthy career with the Army, including Explosive Ordnance Disposal training. He began his time at his final duty station, Fort Campbell, in 2010. Scheduled to retire in 2015, Homan has already begun the sometimes difficult transition back into civilian life with the opening of O2 Green Carpet Cleaning, which provides environmentally-safe cleaning services to the Clarksville community.
“We use the latest methods of deep scrubbing, low-moisture carpet cleaning in Clarksville,” he explained. “Our equipment is sleek and very quiet, and there are no hoses to drag through your home. Your carpets will dry in about an hour and stay cleaner longer than traditional cleaning methods.”
Homan is quick to add that “all of our carpet-cleaning products are green and safe for people, pets and the earth, too!”
Homan stresses that the process is different from traditional cleaning methods, in that the O2 process uses less water, thereby creating less waste. No matter the process, however, Homan is clear on one thing: quality is key. “My mission is to provide quality carpet cleaning services while upholding the highest standards in carpet care and cleaning. The job will be completed professionally, on time and to your satisfaction – guaranteed.”
Using Army values
For Homan, the qualities that help him to successfully run O2 Carpet Cleaning are qualities that he picked up during his time in the military. “I believe that, if you run a business with honesty and integrity, the chances of your business surviving are a lot better. I’m running my business in correlation with the Army values I have lived and conducted myself by for an over 20-year Army career.”
In addition to his dedication to Army values, Homan relies on a background of carpet cleaning knowledge gained from years of experience. “I have been around the carpet cleaning business for years. It’s a family business, and I figured I could use my knowledge of carpet cleaning and business management skills.”
Carpet cleaning, he explains, fits his priorities perfectly. “After 20-plus years in the Army, I wanted a career that I could put family first and have a schedule that was more family-friendly.”
Luckily, the Clarksville community offered the perfect place to put down roots after two decades of moving. “My family and I really enjoy the area,” Homan says. “We bought a home here when we first moved into the area four years ago.”
Dedicated to community
For his family, Clarksville was the perfect fit they were looking for. “My wife is an educator with the Clarksville Montgomery County School System, and all three of my kids enjoy their schools. And importantly, staying in Clarksville will also allow us to remain connected to the military community and the services provided by Fort Campbell.”
Homan is hopeful about Clarksville’s growth possibilities, as well. “Being close to Nashville and all it has to offer is another reason that people remain in Clarksville. If managed correctly, I see Clarksville continuing its growth in industry and bringing jobs to the local economy.”
