Before getting into real estate, decorated combat vet Dylan Hale served in the Gulf War’s Operation Desert Storm and, for 18 years, worked in sales for the National Art Association, running the company on a country-wide level from Oregon to Florida. He also fought through a massive recovery (three years and counting) after breaking his neck. “I’m sure it has given me some perspective on what’s truly important in life,” he wrote in his agent bio for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. Namely, his complete adoration for his wife and two boys.
