Make: Volume 83

Dale Dougherty is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Make: Community which launched Make: magazine in 2005, and Maker Faire, which held its first event in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006. Dale's vision and mission continue to be the guiding force for the family of brands. The maker movement is contributing to a thriving market ecosystem, serving the needs of makers as they seek out product support, startup advice, and funding avenues. Make: plays an important role as a collaborator and resource for makers as they transition from hobbyists to professionals.
