After spending over 20 years in the engineering and construction world, Dale decided his woodland hikes shouldn’t be limited to the weekends.  This lifelong city boy ditched the concrete jungle and opted to set roots in southeast Minnesota.  His love for spring ephemerals brought him into the Prairie Moon customer base.  Dale bumping into a Prairie Moon employee while attending a local pollinator event sealed the deal. The very next day, he stopped in to be hired onto the team!

Dale has grown with the company since 2015: he has been on the field crew, packed and shipped bare root plants, worked as a sales representative, and is now our Procurement Specialist. If he’s not networking, selling, and buying seed, chances are good you’ll find Dale endlessly revising his nearby Driftless-area homestead. He loves and appreciates the stillness of a rural valley, the sound of a babbling creek, and the movement of shadows on far-off hillsides. He also enjoys hiking the river bluffs, canoeing the Mississippi backwaters, and cooking an improvised dinner.
