CEO / PRESIDENT /
FOUNDER
"I believe there is always a better solution waiting to be discovered and am committed to continually searching for ways to improve the overall customer experience."
Dale founded Bass Security in 1975 and his passion for customer service and satisfaction allowed the company to grow quickly over the years. In an effort to truly understand customer needs and industry trends, Dale adopted a hands-on approach that prompted him to personally serve in nearly every capacity within the company – from installer to call center operator. This type of personal experience provides him with the type of insight and perspective expected of an industry leader. Today, as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Bass Security, Dale remains committed to growing the company by identifying constant improvements and following proven best practices.
