Walter attended T. C. Walker School while in Gloucester, VA. in the mid-1960s. Upon leaving Gloucester in the mid-1970s, Walter gave his life to the Lord and made Him a permanent fixture in his life until his death. In 1980, Walter finished his education graduating from high school in the state of Delaware. He continued his education over many years studying in different fields of work and excelling in them all. In the late 1990s and early 2000, Walter returned to Virginia and worked as a carpenter building furniture for college dorms (VA Tech University, VA Commonwealth University, and the College of William & Mary).
