Dale currently lives in Austin, Tejas, and works in Texas’ Homeland Security program, but he grew up in San Antonio. One of his favorite summer jobs was at the Alamo for a now defunct business called the “Remember the Alamo Theater and Museum” which for its time was quite cutting edge. In 2003, Dale fulfilled a long time dream when he became a background extra in the latest Alamo movie released in 2004. Even though he shows up on screen for only 4.5 seconds, the memories and friends he made from the experience will last forever. In the guise of Valerojoe, Dale is a member of both thealamofilm.com and Alamo Sentry.
