Dale is a Senior Instructor and Head Athletic Therapist in the Faculty of Kinesiology. He is responsible for coordinating the health care for 14 University of Calgary athletic teams, while working particularly closely with the Dinosaur Football team. 

He is interested in personal fitness activities, outdoor activities, rodeo, team roping, coaching Little League baseball, and driving his four sons to minor hockey functions, with a lot of help from his wife. Currently he is a director of the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sport Medicine Team, a multidisciplinary group of health care professionals that provide health care to Canadian professional rodeo. 

Dale has been the Chief Therapist of the Canadian Medical Team for the Commonwealth Games in 1986, and has been selected as Chief Therapist of the Canadian Medical Team for the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, 1998. He was also the Chief Therapist for the Host Medical Team of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary, and was part of the Host Medical Team during the 1976 Summer Olympic Games in Montreal. He has been a rehabilitation consultant for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Team. Dale was the President of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) for 1996-97. He has held a variety of other positions on the Board of Directors of the CATA over a fifteen year period. 

Academic interests include epidemiological assessment of athletic pursuits, in particular football, hockey, and professional rodeo. Previously Dale studied the microvasculature and blood flow in normal and healing ligaments. He has ongoing interests in strength, flexibility, proprioception, and throwing arm injuries in baseball. There are strong links to baseball, as Dale has been a mentor to four different students that are presently in the Toronto Blue Jays organization.
