Dan Walcott the founder of Eagle Outdoor started painting billboards at the age of fifteen. He literally “learned the ropes” by apprenticing for Lockridge Outdoor who hand painted billboards on site, hanging from a swing stage for Whiteco. Other tasks as an employee were building billboards, leasing, and selling ad space for Lockridge. When the new outdoor advertising company sold, Dan worked as a house painter briefly and painted signs at night. In 1984 Dan struck out independently starting Eagle Outdoor Sign Co. Inc. Lettering signs and vehicles along with a contract with billboard painting for National 3M, raised enough money to build Eagle’s first 6’x12’ billboard. With permission to start in an old hog barn, there was no looking back.

The Company has a 29 County network of junior posters.  The junior posters are a national standard size of 6’x12′ with a live copy area of 5’x11′ snd are moved by their installers approximately every 60 days to provide more exposure for their customers.

Eagle Outdoor is definitely a family affair with Darren Walcott is Vice Presidents of the company.

Eagle Outdoor is a member of IBOUSA and the OAAA.

In addition to owning billboards Dan started the Faces of Outdoor website to commemorate out of home founders and mentors.
