As a San Antonio native, Dale returned home in 1980 after serving in the 82nd Airborne for three years. He started working in the aviation business, but due to layoffs and changes in the industry, he decided to seek an opportunity with Acme Brick as a sales representative, where he stayed for five years building relationships with local builders. From there, he moved to Gina Guido Lumber where he learns more about the lumber and home building industries, expanding his overall construction experience. A few years later he was recruited as the VP of Construction for a large custom home builder, where he oversaw construction administration and accounting.
