Meet the Team
Greg Banwart
Founder and Director
Greg began this company from a desire to serve and learn from others. After a few experiences that had created some challenges in his life, Greg decided to become an Employment Specialist to help others better their lives.
Greg began Misfit Hero, LLC with the desire to better the lives of everyone he comes in contact with. He had been broken and made it through. His desire was to support those who may also be feeling a little broken to help them reach their goals.
When not at work, you will find Greg being a husband and father. He occasionally enjoys a good sports game as time allows. His ideal relaxing is going to see a college baseball game!
Lisa Marbury
Employment Support Advocate
Lisa lives a life of ministry to others. After completing her Master of Social Work at UTA, she began coaching as a way to make ends meet while getting her license and fell in love with helping people be successful in employment. Lisa spent her first year in as a school counselor, in private practice and providing counseling services in the SpEd program. However, Lisa has a tendency to serve others and forget about herself, leading to total burnout. Lisa then took a year off to serve as an Executive Assistant for the president of a ministry and heal.
After being set free by God from multiple mental and physical health struggles, Lisa was divinely connected to and married the love of her life in November 2024. Together, they moved to Dallas, where Lisa returned to serving in the world of employment and now works to support both the employees and customers of Misfit Hero in Dallas Area.
Off the clock, Lisa will be found spending precious time in God's presence, enjoying moments with her husband, serving at church, writing or travelling with the ministry. If time allows, you may find Lisa doing something creative like scrapbooking, cross stitch, or designing!
Dana Smith

Dana has a BA in Accounting from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. She enjoys working with numbers and with people. Dana has a passion for helping others, especially those who have more challenges than others.

Zane Hatch
Employment Specialist
Zane grew up with a real life misfit hero named Uncle John as well as a best friend named Hope who needed care and assistance daily. It wasn’t until he started volunteering at church later in life though that he knew his calling was to serve those who feel like they’ve always been underdogs.
For a decade now, Zane has worked professionally in various capacities. Most recently, he was a Behavior Technician at a highly reputable ABA clinic in Granbury. He has since realized his dream job is helping people enjoy all the transformational benefits that come with having a job and working with other people in the public.
When Zane has free time, he enjoys kayaking and camping but sometimes those good intentions simply turn into a nap. More often he can be found doing “sonny-dos” for his mom or communicating with his two daughters, both of whom have been missionaries in Europe.
Diane Osborne
Employment Specialist
My name is Diane Osborne and I have been deaf since birth. I did not learn sign language until I attended college at Gallaudet University in Washington DC. I graduated with a degree in computer math. My husband Jeff and I have two girls, Brooke and Morgan, who are both hearing.
I have been both a coach and a teacher for many years, but now am working as an employment specialist. My goal is to encourage and connect deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the workforce. Specifically, I hope to be able to more effectively blend the communication between deaf and hearing resulting in offers for deaf individuals' opportunities to have better jobs and careers.
As an individual that grew up in a hearing world, I realize how difficult it is for individuals that are challenged to be accepted and understood. My goal is to erase that barrier with as many people as possible by allowing them to find work that allows them to be successful.
Darem Han
Employment Specialist
My name is Darem. I have been hard of hearing since birth. I came to America from Korea when I was 6 years old. I have two Bachelor degrees in Sociology and Deaf studies from California State University of Northridge. I learned sign language when I was in middle school.
I worked as a job coach for almost 5 years until I found my calling as a Job Placement Specialist. Also, it is my job to break the barriers of oppression for deaf and hard of hearing people and people with disabilities and highlight their strengths and talents. I hope to fight for deaf and hard of hearing individuals and people with disabilities to gain better employment and job opportunities for all individuals I serve.
In my spare time, I like to watch movies and read books. I also like to have coffee with friends and try new restaurants.
