The 2008 mortgage crisis led to significant changes in the industry, ultimately prompting Mr. Dazzell's transition to the nonprofit sector. This pivotal moment allowed him to channel his passion for technology toward social impact.

Throughout his career, Mr. Dazzell has been an active member of Sigma Alpha Pi, the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), reflecting his dedication to leadership development in his field.

Mr. Dazzell's academic achievements have played a critical role in shaping his professional trajectory.

These credentials have equipped him with the expertise necessary to design secure systems that protect sensitive data while maintaining transparency.

Mr. Dazzell attributes his success to the resilience and persistence instilled in him from a young age, qualities reinforced by his experiences as an immigrant from Guyana navigating complex educational and societal systems. He holds education in high regard, believing that meaningful outcomes require unwavering commitment. Inspired by a quote from Bruce Lee displayed in his office—"Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality." He approaches challenges as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks.
