Dale began his career in the boat business in the mid 1970's in Dana Point, CA. Building and designing surfboards was the beginning for Dale. It evolved into yacht builing and repair. A position with a custom yacht-builder on Bainbridge Island prompted his move to the Pacific North West in 1980.

It was not long after Dale moved to the marketing end of the boat business and after almost twenty years selling for the same northwest company. In 2003 he made the change to CPCN to expand his career with his long time clientele to larger yachts, and the expansive brokerage available.

Dale, his wife, and six children, love boating and many other outdoor activities that the northwest has to offer.
