In 1993, Dingle co-founded Milestone Media with Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Christopher Priest.[2] They intended to publish comic books with more diverse stories than other comic book companies at the time.[3][4] Dingle served as president and CEO of the company.[5]

Dingle was given the first exclusive print interview with US President Barack Obama in February 2009. He was subsequently invited to a presidential roundtable on Air Force One in July 2009.[6] As of 2014, Dingle was editor-in-chief and co-chief content officer of Black Enterprise.[7]
