Dallas was born on Aug. 2, 1948, the son of Romaine and Loella (Langston) Eichmeier in New Hampton, IA. He was a 1966 graduate of Ackley-Geneva High School.
Dallas worked at Clay Manufacturing Company in Cedar Falls, IA, as a welder and maintenance worker. After a few years, he went to work for Chamberlain Manufacturing Company in Waterloo, IA, where he worked as an industrial electrician. He then left there and started an electrical company with his brother Byron. He then worked for John Deere, and after an agriculture down turn, he came to Missouri to work for General Motors, and after that Ford Motor Company, retiring in 2006.
