Dale received a B. S. in Electronics Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, and a Masters in Electronics Engineering from Stanford University. Dale also earned a Masters Degree in Business Administration from UCLA. Dale’s technical and business background led him to excel in senior management positions with several leading high-tech corporations, including Hewlett Packard, TRW, and Motorola.

In 1997, Dale established his own management consultant company, DeHart Consulting, LLC, providing companies — including California Amplifier, Harmonic, Fujitsu, and XILINX — with business strategy and development support. As an independent management consultant, Dale saw firsthand the challenge companies face in marketing their products and services to new prospects while focusing on the needs of existing clients.

Dale launched SOHO Prospecting as a division of DeHart Consulting, LLC in 2001 to provide comprehensive marketing solutions to companies at the smaller end of the business spectrum. In 2002 SOHO moved into their offices in Camarillo, where six staff members and a number of subcontractors serve the needs of their clients.

“Our clients appreciate our ability to execute a complete marketing campaign, from concept to completion, without needing to oversee every step of the process or allocate valuable internal resources to the marketing effort,” says Dale. “While marketing has been defined as the presentation of a company’s products and capabilities to a target audience, here must be a measurable return on your business marketing investment.”

Dale is active in the Ventura County community and in several professional and community service organizations. A member of the Camarillo Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors. Dale also serves on the Boards of Directors of Ward-Davis, Inc., the nation’s largest T&M equipment manufacturers’ representative company, the Channel Islands YMCA, and the Institute of Management Consultants (IMCUSA).
