Dale Anderson, FounderIn over five decades Dale has seen his business evolve from a small group doing basements to an organized, diverse team, creating the highest-end masonry solutions for the most demanding clients. Though he still likes those basements.
Dale was born in Milwaukee, WI, and was raised learning about hard work on a farm in the Town of Hill, Ogema, Wisconsin. He began his career as a laborer for Stolzey Masonry, quickly becoming a mason. Partnering then with Conrad Fies in 1969, C & D Masonry was formed in Slinger, WI. Fast-forward 20 years; Dale is just completing an apartment building for a large retirement facility, Cedar Communities, and is approached by their general contractor to remodel a large building. With that he founded the new Dale Anderson Masonry, Inc. in 1989 with just three employees. DAM expanded their staff and in 1996 did their first work with acclaimed Moore Designs, a relationship we're proud of that still goes strong today. These days Dale enjoys a more relaxed life in their restored Allenton, WI farmhouse, which doubles as the location of DAM offices, and our equipment and work garage. Note: we’ll call it a garage, but predictably, it’s a beautiful, stone building with brick archways and accents...along with a masonry heater, and pizza oven! |
