Vance was born in 1955 and grew up in Huntingdon Valley, a suburb of Philadelphia. Vance moved to Delaware to attend the University of Delaware and graduated with honors in Mechanical Engineering in 1978, as a member of Tau Beta Pi. DuPont recruited him directly from University to work in their Engineering Department.

In addition to his role as LabWare’s president and CEO, Vance is also a general partner of the Delaware-based seed and early-stage venture capital firm Leading Edge Ventures. He serves on the board of governors of the Jefferson Awards Foundation, which recognizes, inspires and activates volunteerism and public service in communities, workplaces and schools across America.
