Personal Details

Bio

Dallas Emerson is an entrepreneur and passionate nerd who's goal is to empower non-nerds to feel confident in making wise technology decisions.

He started his work in IT at the age of twelve, working as a computer imaging tech for his father's company. Working as a tech within a family business, Dallas learned how technology can be used strategically to the benefit of an organization, or piecemeal to its detriment.

Now he works to demystify technology--translating the language of our new high priests into down-to-earth, easily understood terms.

Much to everyone's amusement, Dallas is, in fact, from Austin.
