Dale Dowdie was a hacker in High School. His Computer class teacher felt there were better uses for his talent and he ended up as the first High School Student to be hired by NASA at Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt MD - working on predictive modeling for storm tracking. Afterwards Mr Dowdie went to Boston University to study computer Engineering. While still in College Mr Dowdie started the first of his companies delivering training and network integration services to the fledgling computer revolution.

Mr. Dowdie founded Intellitech Consulting Enterprises in 1993, which was the 3rd company he had started. The goal of Intellitech is to provide intelligent technology solutions for business and educational institutions. Over the past 20 years, Intellitech has provided Software Development, Management/IT Consulting, Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity and Consulting Services for organizations, banks and institutions including Liberty Mutual Insurance, Citizens Bank, TJX Companies, Staples and McCormick, to the Government of St. Lucia and Harvard University. Intellitech has also developed a core vertical market software development team that designs industry specific web/mobile enabled solutions.

One such Solution is BlackFacts.com. Blackfacts is the brain-child of longtime friend and collaborator Ken Granderson, and over the past 20 years it has been running and providing historical facts-of-the-day to our community. Mr. Dowdie was brought in early on to help husband the idea to the next level. However, for years the site remained just a source of black history facts, and in time it grew to be the #1 source for Black Facts on the internet. That all changed in 2017, as Mr. Dowdie and Mr. Granderson finally gave the project the focus it deserved and thus began the process of turning Blackfacts.com from just a historical reference site for Black History into the 'Black Wikipedia' and a showcase of the cultural contributions of people of color and a showcase of the type of technology solutions that can be provided by and to people of color. Those efforts can be seen in this, the latest evolution of BlackFacts.com. There is so much that can be done with the platform, and we hope that you stick around to enjoy the journey with us...
