Dale has been growing crops and developing aeroponics systems for over 30 years and is the "creative genius" behind Aerobloom's proprietary technology. In 1997, Dale was approached by Richard Stoner, widely known as the father of modern aeroponics. Mr. Stoner was receiving funding from NASA to develop aeroponics systems that astronauts could use to grow crops in space without the benefit of soil. At the time Dale was using his own systems to grow crops. For several years they compared notes together and Mr. Stoner often referred to Dale as his only true competitor in the field of aeroponic development. Since that time, a number of competitors have approached Dale to review their aeroponics system and according to Dale, all of them are still using the basic technology that he was using over 30 years ago.
