Brandon Muse
I'd like to take a moment to provide a bit of feedback, that I feel will be beneficial when considering Dale for any position that he may apply for. Dale and I had the opportunity to work together as neighboring managers with HDA. During this time, I found Dale to be a manager that truly worked hard to ensure the success of his team. Dale never settled for less than the best. He and I partnered together on a variety of projects related to hiring, general HR policy, technology, and procedural updates. No matter the task, he came to the table with ideas and research that was extremely beneficial to ensuring the company continued to move forward in an ever changing climate. If you are seeking a true professional that will give 110%, to ensuring the overall success of the team or projects he's charged with managing, Dale should be on the top of your list. I truly wouldn't hesitate hiring him, as he's proved himself to be a strong and consistent leader whom will get the job done.

Dale's expertise in managing both PT and FT field staff in the merchandising industry would be an asset to any organization. I have managed Dale for 4 years with his last position being an assistant to me which he achieved great success for our customers. I highly recommend Dale for any management level position he is seeking.
