Meet Dallon

I appreciate you taking the time to visit the FirstStep Concepts website.  You are probably wondering who I am and why you should work with me to grow your business.

I am extremely passionate about small business.  My dad, a wonderful accountant and an even better father, has spent his entire working life making small businesses better.  I have always admired how he helped the companies for which he has worked become better businesses.  I believe in small business as the growth engine of our economy, and I know that many business owners need someone to help them make decisions to improve profitability and cash flow.

I have spent my entire career in Corporate America performing a variety of finance, IT, and operations jobs.  I have seen how large companies use information to plan for their future decisions.  I have seen both the positives and negatives of how big companies provide information for decision making, and I want to use my experience to help small business owners have the same ability to improve their profits and cash flow.  I started FirstStep Concepts to fulfill my passion to help business owners turn the details of their businesses into smarter business decisions.  By teaching and coaching business owners, I can help drive the success of our entrepreneurs.

Most importantly, I am a husband to Stephanie and dad to Thomas (age 6) and Garrett (age 21 months).  Being a husband and father is my biggest joy in life.  My family means everything to me and is the reason I am pursuing my entrepreneurial dreams.  In what little free time I do have, I enjoy reading (anything by Seth Godin and business biographies are high on my list) and chasing my boys through the great parks in our hometown of Bettendorf, Iowa.
