DAN YOUNG
Dan (“The Laptop Man”) Young, is the Founder and CEO of Utah based PC Laptops LLC. PC Laptops currently makes the best custom-configured, computers and laptops on the planet all covered by a lifetime service guarantee. www.pclaptops.com.
Born in 1971 and raised in Southern California, Young is a first-generation American. His parents emigrated from China to the United States in the late 1930s to escape repression and the early throes of World War II. At age six, Young began attending a computer-training camp, learning video game programming and development. He played and programmed video games his free time.
His first entrepreneurial efforts selling T-shirts, sunglasses and novelty items from a stand in Venice Beach, California proved fun and lucrative. Dan’s business progressed and he opened a small shop at the outdoor swap meet selling cutlery in his Samurai costume.
After moving to Utah, the big box electronics retailer he was working for closed their doors, Young called all the customers that had bought computers from him and sent former customers a letter offering to honor their extended service warranties at no charge. This is how PC Laptops began. The first year he lost over $20,000, honoring these warranties but the following year Young’s loyal customers rewarded him with over a million dollars in business revenue.
Young has now driven PC Laptops to consecutive listings among the fastest growing companies in America in Inc. Magazine. Since then he has founded a handful of successful technology companies specializing in high-performance gaming, enterprise cloud security and remote technical services. He still considers himself a “video game junkie,” but when he’s not visiting one of his stores and making friends with customers, Young is now just as likely to be mentoring and coaching aspiring young entrepreneurs face to face and online.
