Hale played in many bands, but in 1997, while living in Liverpool England, he met Sean Cook, Mike Mooney, and Damon Reece, all members of multi-platinum band Spiritualized. He played guitar with Spiritualized in 1997 and 1998 in tours supporting their album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, which NME magazine named as their Album of the Year.

Since his time with Spiritualized, he has moved back to America, and worked as an A&R rep for several record labels, including Arista Records. He currently splits time between Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Salt Lake City, Utah.^[2]

In 2005, he and David Reilly, formerly of God Lives Underwater, began collaborating on a new project.

As a producer, he founded and owns the record label Handsome Rob Records and Lincoln Street Sound Studio in Salt Lake, and has judged many music and battle-of-the-bands competitions. He has recorded many bands, as well as played guitar and bass, among other instruments, on many albums as a session musician. He has also done extensive recording work for Fox, and Fox Soccer Channel.
