Director of New Student & Transition Programs, Dale is a graduate of St. John Fisher University in Rochester, NY with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s of Business Administration degree. While he was a student, Dale was an orientation team member and leader for three years. He met the love of his life, Mary, on her first day of orientation thanks to an icebreaker intended to build community...it worked! After college he worked at his alma mater in Alumni Relations and then Stanford Law School in a similar role. In 2015 he came to Cal Poly as an Employer Development Specialist in Career Services, and then transitioned to Associate Director of Employer Services. Today, he serves as the Director of New Student & Transition Programs for new students and their family members.
Dale values community service as demonstrated in college by volunteering over 800 hours at a elementary school and community health clinic. After Hurricane Katrina, he made two service trips to New Orleans to help with the cleanup efforts, and he was a leader on three trips to Jamaica as part of a youth sports and personal development program. In the SLO community, he was on the U40 founding board and docent for an environmental nonprofit.
When not immersed in his exciting work to support students, Dale can be found playing with his two pet tortoises — Kuri and Lola, exploring the central coast with Mary or catching a sporting event. He enjoys cooking, cruising on his e-bike and hiking in this beautiful area.
