About us

Jackson has years of travel under his belt as a freelance journalist and photographer, but is fond of saying that he’s always relieved to be back in Dallas. Recently, he decided to settle down in his home city and joined our team as a contributing editor. When he’s not helping to steer our staff to the best stories and businesses, he’s usually with his family singing along to Willie Nelson.

Liam is the staff member we usually bring along whenever one of us is reviewing something in the construction or installation industries. This is because Liam himself co-owns a hardware supply store and has been dealing with people in these industries his whole life. His interests go far beyond hardware, however, as he’s also a self-avowed gourmand, with a particular relish for all things battered and fried.

Olivia is an alumna of the Constantin College of Liberal Arts in the University of Dallas. While she does graphic design at a marketing agency, she also writes reviews for us, being a confessed bargain hunter. When she’s not at work, she can often be found at the latest exhibits at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Ben’s great loves in life are writing, his pets, and the Dallas Mavericks. He often says that joining our team allowed him to indulge in the first while also giving him more time to enjoy the latter two. He’s currently taking classes at the University of Texas at Dallas for his Masters in Management Science.

Allie is our barbecue expert and holds the best barbecue parties this side of the city. She often has the team over for brainstorming sessions about the next things we should cover. Away from DBest, she’s usually with her husband doing some bass fishing at one of the nearby lakes.
