Originally from Cokato, Minnesota, Dale moved to the 'big city' of St. Paul about 11 years ago. He took up the keyboards about 5 years ago after being inspired by listening to many of the people that he still credits as major influences today; Booker T. Jones, Bill Payne, Gregg Allman, Ron Levy, John Mayall, Lucky Peterson, Charles Irwin, Otis Spann and locally by the one and only ex-Cranston Andy Bailey.
Dale has played with many local bands including Under Suspicion, Reneé Austin, Liberty Street, Big Walter Smith, Froz In Time and You and Who's Army (which he still does an ocasional night with).
He has been in the studio and recorded with Under Suspicion on their latest release "Guilty" as well as the latest Paul Holland & Supa Fuzz CD "Porno Music".
The newest member of the band, Dale joined up in January 1999, after finishing out the rest of his committments.
