Dale Ogden’s Biography Dale Ogden was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951 and attended
Baltimore County Public Schools, graduating from Kenwood High School in 1969.
Throughout high school, he was enrolled in honors classes and took college-level
classes in advanced algebra, calculus, physics and advanced physics. He
placed third in a class of about 900 graduates. From elementary school
through college, he was involved in the instrumental music program; he played
oboe in junior high school, saxophone in high school, and violin in
elementary, junior and senior high school orchestras. He also played violin
in the Baltimore County-wide high school orchestra for five years. During
Junior High and High School, he worked various jobs part-time during the
school year and full-time in the summer. He attended college at Towson University (then Towson State College) where
he received a B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Accounting in 1974. He also
played saxophone in the Towson Jazz Ensemble for a few semesters and was on
the freshman swimming team. Throughout college, he was employed full time and
paid for most of his own education. For two years after college he was
employed as a high school mathematics teacher in Baltimore City and was laid
off in 1976 (to achieve racial balance among math teachers). During the last
year or so of college, he was employed as a field investigator for Equifax
Services (performing mostly insurance-related investigations) and continued
this employment part-time and summers while employed as a teacher. After being laid off as a teacher, he continued with Equifax until
landing a job as an Actuary in November 1976 with the Maryland Automobile
Insurance Fund in Annapolis, Maryland. From 1977 through 1979, he attended
Loyola College of Maryland as a part-time student in the MBA program in Actuarial
Science. Those classes at Loyola were geared toward the series of
examinations required to earn credentials as an life insurance actuary. He
left that program (without a degree) when he moved to the New York area in
early 1980. He continued pursuing Actuarial Examinations, achieving credentials
in the Society of Actuaries in 1980, the American Academy of Actuaries in 1981,
and the Casualty Actuarial Society in 1983. By 1983, he was part of a
relatively small group of individuals with credentials in both life/pension
actuarial work and property/casualty actuarial work. He has since continued
to work as an actuary and management consultant. He joined the “Big Four” accounting firm, KPMG, in New York
in March 1980, where he eventually reached the position of Manager. He moved to
a smaller consulting firm, Kramer Capital Consultants, in New York, in August
of 1984. While at KCC, he ultimately achieved the position of Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer. As part of his largest consulting
engagement at KCC, he was appointed CEO of a group of insurance companies in
Southern California that were having financial and operational problems. From
August 1985 through December 1987, he spent the majority of his time "fixing"
those companies. Ultimately, they were all sold at a profit (he also relocated
to Southern California during this period). In January 1988, after having moved to Los Angeles and after the sale
of the insurance companies, he became self-employed, performing actuarial and
management consulting services for a wide variety of clients, including state
insurance regulators, government agencies, attorneys, and insurance companies.
In December 1991, he again joined KPMG as a Senior Manager, this time in Los
Angeles, and was employed there until October 1994, at which time he
reconstituted his firm, Dale F. Ogden & Associates, and has been self-employed
since. He met his wife of 21+ years while working in Southern California and
they have a son who is currently attending college locally. He resides with
his family in San Pedro, in the City of Los Angeles, California. He is active
in the San Pedro Elks Lodge (approximately 2,850 members) and was Exalted
Ruler (President) twice (2006-07 and 2008-09) and has filled a number of
volunteer positions over the past eight years (including one year as an
auditor). He has also been active in a local chapter of Rotary International.
He is a frequent speaker and instructor at industry and professional seminars
and is and has been active in a large number of professional volunteer
committees of the American Academy of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society.
He has been active in politics for about 15 years; he was Libertarian
candidate for California Insurance Commissioner in 1998, 2002 and 2006, a
candidate for California State Assembly in 2000, and a candidate for
California State Senate in 2004.
