Born in Elkton, Maryland, Gale attended the common schools, studied law, and was admitted to the bar and practiced in Elkton. He was member of the Maryland State Senate in 1816, and was elected from the sixth district of Maryland as a Jacksonian candidate to the Twentieth Congress, and served from March 4, 1827, to March 3, 1829. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1828, and resumed the practice of law. He died in Elkton.

His father, George Gale, was also a Congressman from Maryland.
