Dale graduated from Kinman Business University, with Undergraduate Studies at Washington State University and Gonzaga University.

Dale was a key figure in the 1980 Ronald Reagan Presidential election; he managed successful campaigns in the states of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. This led to his relocation to Washington, D.C., where he held senior positions in the Reagan Administration, including V.P./Treasurer of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation at the Department of Interior, and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisition and Facilities at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Dale grew up on a farm in Creston, Washington, and after he retired from his D.C. career in 2003, he relived his dream and purchased a farm in Culpeper, Virginia. Always energetic and committed, he brought a lifetime of leadership and management experience to his volunteer service as President of the Museum of Culpeper History and to his participation in various other historic preservation groups. In 2015, he was awarded the Culpeper Colonel citizen service award.
