Immanuel Dawson
Office Manager
Immanuel, a native of Dallas, TX, serves as the Operations Project Administrator Intern at VPG. He brings a diverse educational background and a wealth of experience to the team. With just four weeks under his belt at the company, he holds a B.S. in Interior Design, earned in 2019, and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Construction Management, set to graduate in 2026.
Immanuel's journey into the construction and operations realm began with a transformative six-month period in the AmeriCorps program with Habitat for Humanity. There, he played a pivotal role in constructing two-family homes, learning essential construction trades, and finding deep fulfillment in rebuilding his community. This experience kickstarted his passion for hands-on work and community service. Following his time with AmeriCorps, Immanuel ventured into a completely new field at Amazon, where he thrived in an Operations role despite having no prior logistics experience. Over two and a half years, Immanuel earned the trust and respect of his colleagues, demonstrating efficiency and leadership in a fast-paced environment. His next adventure took him to BNSF Railways as a Trainmaster, where he learned the intricacies of the railroad industry and enjoyed the opportunity to travel across the country.
In the past, Immanuel served Deion Sanders at McDonald's, his unexpected win of a PS4 in a karaoke contest, and watched all the Fast and Furious movies, including the bad ones. At VPG, he is most infatuated with the culture and the people, finding inspiration that resonates deeply with his values.
