Welcome.
My name is Walter, and I am on a mission to go beyond. I am going beyond in business, research and adventure as I seek to understand what connects us in an era of division.
​
​

Maybe it's time to go beyond.
​
Having grown up flying through the endless skies of Wyoming & Colorado and being raised with a deep connection to the earth beneath my feet, I have always been fascinated by the wildly different perspectives that we get at different elevations. Flying in a plane was my first experience going beyond the world that I once knew and seeing it as a complex and beautiful experience.
This ignited a passion to continually push the boundaries and go beyond what is known; to grow, learn, and discover. The journey motivated me to seek new perspectives and uncover truths in every area of life and then to transform that knowledge into day-to-day pragmatism.
​
My history is defined, in part, by my time as an Air Force Officer and entrepreneur. When I was a cyber operations officer in the Air Force, I worked in fast-paced and dynamic environments, contemplating ethics and cyber policy, all while managing million-dollar assets and dozens of young Airmen who were looking for belonging inside the new world they found themselves in.
​
During my years as a CEO and entrepreneur, I must be forward-thinking to stay ahead of the uncertain market landscape, crafting a culture of innovation, all while conducting intensive research culminating in earning my doctorate in ethics and theology. Lastly as a leader in the US Air Force, the Navigators, and the American Cancer Society I honed my pedagogy as a subject matter expert including; cyber policy, information technology, ethics, theology, health care, and business.
​
As a veteran, I am equipped with an in-depth understanding of belonging, emerging generations, and the future of work. I have a proven ability to think deeply about existentialism, sociology, and business while being able to influence performance, efficiency of massive systems, strategic plans, and culture.
​
But most importantly, this is only my beginning. I will continually chase the horizon of the known and venture beyond. All while creating tangible links to the day to day lives of the community I am creating. Beyond can be done solo, but how much more will we see and discover together?
