About Dale
I've been a software engineer, a rocket scientist, a CEO, an author, editor and publisher, a personal trainer (to movie stars, Olympic and professional athletes), and helped build a couple of mobile and Internet ad agencies. Yeah, I was the guy at the front of the iPhone line; all three times. I write about startups, business, technology (especially web and mobile), and sometimes I review the gadgets I love to play with.-
