In 2024, he launched Orange Funding as a focused extension of his broader vision, offering $250,000 to $10 million facilities, alongside OrangeCash for fast-turnaround funding. He also founded Rhapsody Financial in 2018, a private credit platform centered on broker-driven origination and structured yield.

Dustin's background includes scaling a national leasing company and serving in senior executive roles across capital markets. Outside of finance, he is a husband, father of four, and an ultramarathon runner.
