Billy Bohl's Bio
Billy Bohl began working on a residential framing crew at age 16 and
has not set foot out of the construction industry since. Raised on the
east side of Cincinnati he worked through high school and college as a
carpenter here in Cincinnati and as a carpentry foreman on commercial
projects for a 4-1/2 year stint in West Palm Beach, Florida. He
graduated from The University of Cincinnati Business College in 1987
majoring in Marketing and Real Estate.
He became partners with John Dallman in 1985. His current
responsibilities include taking the lead in new client contact and
estimating, management of projects and project managers, management of
commercial projects and accounts, and his share of the many little
things it takes to operate a construction company. He can be found
daily wearing jeans and work boots as opposed to the standard office
uniform of khakis and button-downs and spends most of his day on
construction sites and as little behind the desk as he can get away with.
His hobbies and interests include golf, adventure travel, and
fitness. He is an active volunteer as mentor in the Hamilton County's
Higher Education Mentoring Initiative. He is a LEED Accredited Professional.
He and his wife Jill of 30 years have two grown children.
John Dallman's Bio
John Dallman has spent 37 of his 62 years involved in construction.
Add in the 6 years that he spent maintaining and racing sailboats on
the Great Lakes and fully 2/3rds of his life’s work has been spent
working with his hands.
John was born in Wisconsin, raised in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan, and attended the University of Wisconsin where he spent a
year as one of two student representative on the Governor’s taskforce
to consolidate the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State
University systems. After graduation from the University of Michigan
with a degree in Chinese Studies, he took a job on an interstate
paving crew followed by a job in Washington, DC which focused his
energies in the field of foreign policy. Describing Washington as
“nice to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there,” he moved to
Cincinnati in 1978 and began his continuing quest to understand how
things are built.
Today, John relies on the lessons learned in Washington as well
as those passed on by his family’s 3 previous generations of small
business owners to oversee DBGC, Inc. In addition to his primary
responsibility as the managing partner, his duties include estimating
and overseeing a full range of the company’s projects and project managers.
John’s wife Katie Whelan has been active in the accounting side
of the business since its start. They have been married for 28 years
and have two grown children.
For the past 11 years, John has volunteered with the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation’s Ride to Cure program. He serves on the
National Leadership Committee, is one of six JDRF national bicycling
coaches, and coaches for the SW Ohio chapter of JDRF. In his spare
time, he races bikes, tends to their yard, and is busy restoring a
1880’s granary.
