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 migration to Washington, D.C. where he held senior positions in the Reagan Administration to include V.P. and 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 in 2003, he relived his dream of farm life by purchasing a farm in Culpeper, Virginia. He brought a lifetime of leadership and management experience to his volunteer service as President of the Museum of Culpeper History and participation in various other historic preservation groups. In 2015, he was awarded the Culpeper Colonel citizen service award.
