Dale Goodrich, Owner
Dale Goodrich is the hands-on operator behind Goodrich Gourmet Catering. An alum of William & Mary, Dale started his career in his hometown of Chesapeake, Virginia.

He successfully built his clientele base from the ground up, learning the basics that would pave the way to his own thriving business in 2010.

When Dale is not working he enjoys time with his family, boating and playing golf.
