Walt has spent his adult life talking. He speaks and/or teaches at conventions, conferences, churches, retreats, schools, banquets, locker rooms, whether to small groups or large groups. His style is motivational, inspirational and peppered with humor. Walt has a unique ability to make stories come alive and to challenge an audience about life-altering concepts while making them laugh in the process. Walt is a native of the Philadelphia area and is a graduate of Asbury College and Northeastern Bible College. He has also done extensive graduate work at the International School of Theology in San Bernadino, California. Walt taught and coached at Northeastern Bible College for 14 years and also served for 15 years on the staff of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries.
Walt presently leads an organization called Winning With Encouragement (WWE) which is based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Much of Walt’s energies go into teaching WWE’s most recent seminars, The Look of the Leader and The Encouragement Seminar. The former examines leadership by looking at the heart and the latter is intended to encourage people as it compares what our society says is significant with what God sees. In addition to traveling and speaking, Walt and his wife Patti lead regular pilgrimages to the lands of the Bible.
