TAG was founded in 1984 by John McEwan, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy who holds a Masters� degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland. After serving our country as a U.S. naval officer, which included an assignment with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, John formed TAG. John McEwan adopted the TAG ball, a schematic representation of forward thinking and innovation, as the symbol for TAG. It acts as a constant reminder that even the smallest of ideas can have a huge impact. Since our humble beginnings as IT innovators, TAG has been at the forefront of developing IT solutions for specific military requirements. TAG workstations were first put into service for the Naval Research Laboratory as well as the US Navy, who continues to be our largest customer.
TAG�s executive management team is headed by James S. McEwan, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TAG, Inc. Before joining TAG in 1995, Jim held several key management roles for Browns Automotive Group, including President & General Manager, and Vice President of Finance and Leasing. While working in the automotive industry, Jim served on several Finance and Marketing boards for Mazda, SAAB, General Motors and Subaru of America. Jim�s in depth knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering has propelled TAG as a leader in state of the art information technology solutions for the defense industry. Jim�s visionary leadership has been the driving force for TAG�s tremendous growth in the last ten years. Jim studied Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) and serves on TAG's Board of Directors.
