“Enjoy the little things because one day you will look back and realize they were big things.”

Dawson was born and raised in Illinois. When college time came around, he left the cold and humid weather to move out to the desert, attending Arizona State University for a bachelor’s degree in Global Health and Business… (spoiler alert he never became a doctor). After graduating from undergrad, he attended the Thunderbird School of Global Management where he obtained his Masters in Global Management and Digital Marketing. Post graduation, Dawson started his career in marketing, moved into project management at a consulting firm, and has now transitioned back into marketing full-time as a Strategic Account Manager at Bluetent. Outside of the office he enjoys running, attending fitness classes, traveling with his partner and their moms, and attending music festivals around the country- Coachella being his all-time favorite.

Alternate Dream Job: Rich stay-at-home husband. Working is great and all, but if I had the opportunity to never work, shop all the time, travel the world, and be a stay-at-home husband I would do it in a heartbeat!

Inspired By: People who truly do what makes them happy- whether that is pursuing a passion project, dream, or job that puts them outside their comfort zone, or someone who knows who they are and does not change for others.
