He is a well-known financial planner in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex with a specialization in retirement planning. In addition to helping retirees, Dale has also shared his in-depth knowledge and experience with other retirement specialists across the nation.

As a graduate of Iowa State University, Dale holds a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Finance. Dale comes from a strong background in the insurance industry and has been a licensed insurance professional for over a decade. He also carries Series 7 (General Securities Representative), series 63 (Uniform Securities State Law), and series 65 (Uniform Investment Adviser Law) Securities Registrations.

Although Dale was born and raised in central Iowa, he has been proud to call Dallas his home for the past 22 years. As they say, he “got here as quick as he could”. With a family that has been in the Insurance and Financial Services industry for over 57 years, he has personally witnessed the menagerie of benefits that insurance products can provide for people, especially in their retirement years. Dale is dedicated to sharing his knowledge in helping each client design an action plan so they can retire with peace of mind! He is well aware of the truthfulness of the adage “Failing to plan is planning to fail”.
