Thanks Miguel.  I'm using the methods below:

        public DateTime NSDateToDateTime(MonoTouch.Foundation.NSDate date)
        {
            return (new
DateTime(2001,1,1,0,0,0)).AddSeconds(date.SecondsSinceReferenceDate);
        }

        public MonoTouch.Foundation.NSDate DateTimeToNSDate(DateTime date)
        {
            return
MonoTouch.Foundation.NSDate.FromTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate((date-(new
DateTime(2001,1,1,0,0,0))).TotalSeconds);
        }

I'll look at your suggestion but I'm concerned that the app will still have all
other UTC conversions (DateTime.UtcNow) incorrect because the "thread/culture"
doesn't have the proper information from the host.  Do you know of any way to
get a .NET app that's running to update its information for proper conversions?
 I haven't confirmed that the DateTime.UtcNow is incorrect but I'm assuming
it's all going to use the offset from when the app was first launched and hold
that until the app is killed manually.  I use this quite a bit in DataTables,
etc.

Thank you.
