Who Is Daisha Wilks?

Daisha Wilks is a videographer from Flat Rock, Alabama, who is competing on The Amazing Race season 39 with Dalton Hamby, 27, a fellow videographer from Jacksonville, Alabama. The couple met after both graduated from Jacksonville State University, and they work together in video production, a partnership that has carried naturally onto the race.

Daisha and Dalton were introduced when the season’s cast was announced in 2026 as a dating couple, and they have remained in contention through the early legs of a race that sends 13 teams across five continents. Their shared eye for detail, their comfort with cameras and their ability to stay creative under pressure have all helped them on a show where communication is everything.

Early Life & Background

Daisha Wilks is from Flat Rock, a small community in Jackson County, Alabama, in the northeast of the state. She attended Jacksonville State University, where she met Dalton Hamby, and the pair built both a relationship and a working partnership in video production after graduating.

Before the race, Daisha was not a television personality. Like many Amazing Race contestants, she came to the show through her everyday life and her relationship, and her profile has grown episode by episode as viewers have followed the Alabama couple around the world.

Career/Journey

Daisha Wilks works as a professional videographer, and she and Dalton run video work together, including through Dalton’s company Dhamby Productions. That background — shooting, editing, planning shoots, solving problems on location — transfers directly to The Amazing Race, where teams must read a clue, plan a route and execute it under time pressure.

The Amazing Race 39 premiered on CBS on September 30, 2026, hosted by Phil Keoghan, and airs on Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m. Eastern, with episode seven, “The Amazing Nightmare,” airing on November 4, 2026. Daisha and Dalton were still racing after the Leg 6 non-elimination, keeping the Alabama couple in the hunt for the $1 million prize.

Their journey is also a relationship story. Dating couples on The Amazing Race are tested in public, under stress and far from home, and the strongest among them tend to be the pairs who communicate clearly and recover quickly from mistakes. For Daisha and Dalton, that test has become one of the season’s most relatable storylines.
