Born in Melbourne, Dale has called Cairns home since 1992 and has been involved in the local basketball community since his arrival, dating back to the days of outdoor courts.

Dale was motivated to join the Cairns Basketball Incorporated (CBI) Board to use his skillset to help Cairns Basketball continue to grow and to contribute to a lasting, positive legacy for future generations of players. He enjoys working alongside a committed group of like-minded board members to drive continuous improvement in quality, safety, inclusion and culture.

In his role on the board, Dale enjoys being able to apply his experience in a meaningful way to support the development of the facility, the game of basketball, and the overall experience for members. He is especially inspired by seeing young players improve, develop, and build a genuine love for the game.

Outside of basketball, Dale enjoys spending time with his wife and children, relaxing together, listening to music, and water sports.
