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.

I am a former HR professional and forever student of Anthropology. Having spent some time in the field of HR I realized that buzz words like "culture", "diversity", and "fit" are being misused and misinterpreted. Using my knowledge of culture from an anthropological perspective, I help executives, teams and HR professionals build a truly diverse workplace while facilitating the cultural (both ethnic and corporate) differences at play within a workplace community. Are you unsure how to build a horizontal organizational structure? Do you notice new hires struggling to fit in with the office culture? Are you partnered with offices or clients belonging to different ethnic cultures? These are age-old dilemmas that tribes and communities have faced since the beginning of human evolution. Just as they were able to find solutions, I can work with you to do the same.
