Meet Dale

For Dale, being part of the Schnitz family has meant leaning into his passion for serving delicious food, creating memorable hospitality experiences and mentoring a team — all while supporting his own young family.

“Even if they don’t know it, our guests are the entire reason that I do what I do,” says Dale. “I can’t see myself doing anything in life that doesn’t involve creating amazing experiences, and food is truly the way to all of our hearts.”
