The idea for Taggle began developing about three years ago. After conferring with one of his academic mentors, Dr. Clay Jones at Biola University, Dan McCarthy recognized the need for a company that would use the web and social media to strengthen the Church and serve its members. Drawing on his network of business associates and friends within the Church, Dan built a team of technologists and managers to bring Taggle to market. The TaggleWorld site was beta-tested from November 2008 through March of 2009, and went live in April of 2009.
Taggle’s team has been brought together to combine the experience, technological knowledge, strategic insight, and deep connections within the Christian community needed to realize this opportunity.
Dan is President of Pension Concepts, a company he founded in 1990, and is the Pension Specialist at Commonwealth Financial Group. He holds a BA from Boston College and his MA in Christian Thought/Apologetics from Biola University. Dan is the President of Reasons to Believe, Boston.
