John Dawson

Manager

I was born and primarily raised in Memphis, TN, before moving to Jackson, TN, where I received a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Union University.

With plans to pursue my Master's degree, I moved to Waco, TX, and stumbled into working with data. I started assisting a few small companies with financials and inventory management, which snowballed and kickstarted my career with data.

Before making my way to the great state of Oklahoma, I worked for a stint in Dallas as an analyst in multiple industries, including mortgage lending, real estate, and merchandising/retail for the Dallas Cowboys. I also started a custom furniture and woodworking business, which I packed up, moved, and operated in Oklahoma.

My more recent experiences include data analytics, reporting, and architecture roles. First, I ran a freelance analytics company while building custom furniture for residential, commercial, and interior design clients. After this, I took a business intelligence and data architecture position with Dell Technologies (Dude, you're getting a Dell).

My knowledge of small business, technology, merchandising, retail, mortgage lending, and real estate have provided me with creative, efficient, and resourceful ways to problem-solve and transform unstructured data into executive-level business analysis and business optimization insights for data-driven decision-making.

Outside of work, I most enjoy going on walks with my wife (Keila), son (SirMichael), Goldendoodle (Blanche), and our somewhat revolving door of kids in foster care. I also enjoy cycling, drinking coffee or tea, reading a good book, drinking coffee, woodworking, gardening, writing, and of course, drinking coffee.
