Today we’d like to introduce you to Dale Townsend.
Dale, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I moved to Charlotte in 2012 experiencing homelessness. Four years later, I was in full-time management in the food service industry. I later transitioned into mental health as a Certified Care Support professional while becoming a certified personal trainer. In 2017, I secured a gym contract, became fully self-employed in 2018, and opened my own gym in 2023. In 2025, I earned real estate licenses in North and South Carolina and opened a mental health agency—while continuing to operate my gym. My journey reflects resilience, purpose, and a commitment to helping others build stability and success.

Yes, accessing capital has been a challenge
