About Desra Group
Connecting People. Solving Problems. Advancing Missions.
Based in Orlando, Desra serves the U.S. government customer market across federal, state, and local government, connecting mission needs with worldwide solutions through independent providers. Our Florida presence is especially strong in defense, simulation, and space.
Who We Are
A partner, not a one-time engagement.
Desra Group began in healthcare, helping owner-led practices - including behavioral health organizations - build the leadership, systems, and operating discipline to grow from seven figures into eight. That work shaped how we operate: close to leadership, accountable for outcomes, and focused on what actually moves the organization.
Today, Desra Group serves the U.S. government customer market through a portfolio of federal, state, and local government relationships and independent providers offering worldwide technology solutions, including the defense industrial base (DIB). Our Florida roots support a strong presence in defense, simulation, and space alongside broader government and regulated-industry needs. Dalton Young's experience across government, technical leadership, operations, and business ownership helps the group understand both mission needs and the capabilities that may fit them. Each solution partner remains an independent company responsible for its own delivery.
We are in the relationship business. Dalton stays personally involved as we get to know leaders, understand their challenges, and help bridge communication and accountability gaps. Advisory is available to everyone at no cost, and not every problem needs an outside partner. When specialist delivery is needed, we connect organizations with trusted independent solution partners who are responsible for their own agreed scope and credentials; people hired by a client join that client's organization.
What Guides Us
Our philosophy.
Organizations Outgrow Their Operating Model
Every company eventually outgrows the way it operates. Recognizing that moment early is what separates the businesses that scale from the ones that stall.
Clarity Before Complexity
Priorities, ownership, and direction come first. Adding people, tools, or process before clarity only multiplies the confusion.
Accountability, Execution, and Trust
Strong organizations are built when decisions turn into execution and leaders can trust that priorities will not get lost.
The Solution Follows the Problem
The right people, systems, and partnerships accelerate growth, but only when they solve the actual problem in front of the business.
Leadership
Dalton Young
Founder & CEO
Superconnector: Connecting Government, Industry & Business
Government · Industry · Business · Technology
For more than fifteen years, Dalton has built his career across entrepreneurship, technology, cybersecurity, government contracting, healthcare, operations, and executive leadership. He has built, operated, and exited businesses of his own.
His role often starts alongside leadership - getting into the room, understanding what's happening, asking questions, connecting dots, and helping determine what should happen next. His work today includes strategic advisory, executive thought partnerships, strategic partnerships, and board and advisory involvement.
He also serves on the Board of Directors for AFCEA Orlando as Government Liaison Chair, and beginning January 2027 serves as Chapter Chair of the NCMS Space Coast Chapter, covering Melbourne, Patrick SFB, Palm Bay, and the surrounding Central Florida security community - strengthening the connection between industry, government, and the local defense community.
Working With Us
Built to accelerate your mission.
We begin with the mission, help leadership understand the gaps, and connect the right capabilities. Desra provides advisory and relationship support; independent partners own their contracted delivery.
Requirements Before Recommendations
We understand the mission, constraints, and qualifications you need before exploring potential people, technologies, or solution partners.
Independent Solution Partners
We connect you with independent companies whose capabilities fit your challenge. Each partner is responsible for the work it contracts to deliver, not an implied Desra employee bench.
Security & Risk Perspective
We help leadership clarify governance, risk, and compliance priorities and identify specialist partners when technical execution is needed.
Experience That Connects
Dalton's experience across healthcare, technology, security, and government contracting helps bridge communication gaps between leadership, operations, and technical teams.
Direct Access to Leadership
Work directly with Dalton for practical perspective, clear next steps, and ongoing advisory accountability.
Clear Roles & Expectations
We distinguish Desra's advisory role from a partner's delivery scope and clarify responsibilities before an engagement moves forward. Each connection starts with clear, shared expectations.
