Experience:
Walt graduated from Penn State University in 1961-62 with B.S. and M.S. Degrees in Ceramic Engineering. He began his career with RCA as a Development Engineer and then returned to school to earn an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1965. For the next ten years, Walt was with the Carborundum Company in assignments including Sales Engineer, Market Research Manager and Manager, New Product Development. In 1974 he joined the General Electric Company as Manager, Strategic Planning and was later promoted to Marketing Manager (General Purpose Motors) and General Management (Engineering and Apparatus Services). In 1984, Walt joined the Copperweld Corporation as Group Vice President, Bimetallic Products.

In 1989, Walt was appointed President, Arnold Engineering, a $50 million company headquartered in Marengo, Illinois. By 2000, Arnold Engineering grew to become a highly profitable worldwide enterprise called Arnold with sales of $140 million. During that period, Arnold made numerous product line dispositions and strategic acquisitions. Arnold's product scope now covers a broad range of permanent magnet and soft magnetic materials, components and value-added assemblies. Arnold was one of the first companies in the Magnetics Industry to form Chinese strategic alliances and establish its own manufacturing operations in mainland China. Walt was active in the Magnetic Materials Producers Association (MMPA), acting as its President from 1994-1997.
