About the Author
H. DALE HALL has more than forty years of professional experience in fish and wildlife resource management in both the federal and private sectors. He served over thirty years in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with duties in Mississippi; Texas; Alaska; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Oregon, and the six states of the Pacific west; Atlanta, Georgia, and the ten states of the southeast and the Caribbean; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the four states of the southwest. In the course of those assignments, Hall worked on nearly every high-profile environmental issue in America. A fisheries and wetlands biologist by training, Hall spent significant time working on the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. In his last three and a half years with the FWS, he was nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Following retirement from federal service, Hall was CEO of Ducks Unlimited, Inc., for over nine years. During that time, the organization raised more than $2.3 billion and conserved more than two million acres of wetlands, grasslands, and waterfowl habitat.
He has been married to the former Sarah Reed of Bunkie, Louisiana, for 46 years. They have two daughters and a son as well as three grandchildren. Dale and Sarah reside in Collierville, Tennessee.
