Mr. Walker began his career in Public Relations at Hill and Knowlton in New York in 1957 and moved to Boston in 1960, where he started American Program Bureau. In 1980, he sold APB in order to concentrate on developing his other business interests. Among is accomplishments, he was Executive Producer for the National Touring Company of the Broadway hit GREASE, launched a successful laser disc video company, served as President of Sullivan Stadium for two years, was a consultant to Reebok, and was also a consultant representing several major U.S. and international firms investing in the former Soviet Union.

Wanting to return to his roots, in 1992, Mr. Walker repurchased American Program Bureau and remains its guiding force. Born in New York City, he is a graduate of City College of New York, where he earned a degree in Business Administration. He is a lifelong member of the NAACP, serves on the International Board of the Children's World Blood Bank headquartered in South Florida, and was a recipient of their 2002 International Humanitarian Award.
