Dale was born and raised in Regina SK where he spent his summers at the beach. His grandfather was one of the first marine mechanics in the area and he spent many hours helping his Dad recover and repair salvage boats. At the age of nine Dale already owned several boats which Dad was teaching him to repair and resell. Dale started with Mercury & Marine in Regina in 1979. In 1988 he opened Thompson Marine as a multiple line dealership that sold new and used boats with full-service facilities specializing in all aspects of gelcoat, metal flake, and prop repairs. It later became Performance Marine which is still a well-respected marine business in SK. In 2000 he sold his business and moved his family to Kelowna where he then joined the sales staff here at Dockside. With Dale’s past experiences he brings his expertise in these many areas to share with our customers. When Dale is not assisting Dockside customers he enjoys fussing over his own boat, restoring International Scouts, and touring the Okanagan on his Harley.
