His goal is to "tell it like it is" to anyone who is contemplating or experimenting with bad choices. When MAD DOG is hired, he gets the job done! As a convicted felon, Dale "MAD DOG" Messmer served over ten years in prison for drug smuggling and armed robbery in four states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Arkansas). Law enforcement agencies considered him a career criminal" and advised "never approach alone". Before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps, MAD DOG attended school and worked in the Wichita, and central Kansas area. After a medical/honorable discharge from The Marine Corps he became involved in several businesses. In civilian life, MAD DOG operated a concert security company, a limousine service, taverns and worked for a bail bonding company as a bounty hunter. In his work in the music industry in Nashville, he became a bodyguard for Charlie Daniels and William Lee Golden of The Oak Ridge Boys. Expanding his operations to include a charter flying service, his freelance work led to drug smuggling and ultimately... prison. Since his release from prison, MAD DOG has chosen to save as many young people as possible from his bad Choices (drugs, gangs, prison). After speaking at over 400 schools and youth organizations in Arkansas for the Arkansas Crime Prevention Association, he was endorsed by Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and the Arkansas Sheriff's Association. Endorsed by the Ventura County School Board, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Departments V.I.D.A (Vital Intervention - Directional Alternatives) Program, MAD DOG continues his work in California schools and with the LAPD Juvenile Impact Program.

He emphasizes the harsh realities of what kids can expect from bad Choices Drugs, Gangs, Prison and Death. His audiences listen and comprehend, because MAD DOG holds credibility. Impressions
"It is doubtful anyone will go to sleep during Dale's dynamic delivery,
but it is possible that some who hear him will stay awake at night
thinking about what they had heard ... if the school is sincerely
interested in confronting students with a powerful message about the right
choices, then it will be hard to find one more effective than Dale
Messmer's Straight Talk Outreach Program.'
"Your presentation was all we expected and more! You affirmed those
students who make good choices and shook those who do not. The students
were in awe of the idea that even a tough guy like Mad Dog could not
escape the hardships of prison life. A true life testimony of making poor
choices, getting caught, and paying the price. I wish you luck in your
effort to reach as many young people as possible."
The Straight Talk Outreach Program' is especially well-suited for students
between 13 and 18, who are faced with choices that could change their
lives forever. Dale's presentation style is captivating and informative
without the usual trappings that glamorize crime. He is articulate,
informative, commanding and r-e-a-I. He spoke to Cabrillo students for 75
minutes and you could've heard a pin drop. Dale shares his life story with
tales of his travels, imprisonment, friendships, mistakes and experiences
in the real world. Adults and student, alike, are spellbound by his
honesty and intensity. He concludes his presentation with a heartfelt
exhortation to make the most of school experiences He claims, 'The older I
get, the more I realize how smart my teachers were!' Cabrillo students,
staff and parents send Dale MAD DOG Messmer the highest possible
endorsement for a school or youth group presentation.'
"The expressions on the faces of the young people you address confirm that
your message is indeed getting through.'
"We recognize Mr. Messmer as one of our most valuable assets in combating
juvenile recidivism ... we are all amazed at his enthusiasm and dedication
... he is determined to do all he can to help any child avoid the mistakes
he has made ... Mr. Messmer has shown that a person is able to turn
his/her life around and learn from their mistakes.'
