About Dale

I am a seasoned Location Scout and Manager with over 20 years of experience working within the Los Angeles Studio Zone and throughout Southern California. As a proud member of the Local 399 IBT Teamsters and the Directors Guild of America, I specialize in both union and non-union productions. I excel at finding hard-to-get locations—including houses, offices, schools, streets, freeways, and unique Americana settings—to meet diverse creative and logistical needs.

Highly organized and detail-oriented, I bring strong budgeting expertise, integrity, and focus to every project. I understand the demands of the film and commercial industry and deliver reliable, professional service that keeps productions on schedule and on budget. Whether your shoot calls for suburban charm, urban grit, or anything in between, I’m ready to find the perfect location that brings your vision to life.

Unique traits: Expert Drone Location Scouting for dynamic aerial shots Skilled GoPro Scouting to capture immersive, ground-level perspectives Deep knowledge of Urban environments across Los Angeles and SoCal Extensive experience locating Desert landscapes for authentic remote settings Proficient in finding Beachfront and Coastal locations for versatile shooting options Ability to source rare, hard-to-find locations tailored to production needs Union and Non-Union location scouting and management expertise Strong budgeting and logistics skills ensuring efficient production workflows
