With all of his accomplishments, the one that he is most proud is having been married to his amazing wife, Cindy, for 25 years. Walt credits her with helping him become the man he is today. Walt and Cindy have three wonderful, successful children and being a dad gives him his greatest satisfaction. Finding time to run together, Walt and Cindy are able to share an activity that keeps them close and active. Having run two full marathons and several 5K and 10k races, they are able to stay close physically and emotionally. They are also leaders in the Catholic marriage organization Teams of Our Lady, which has had them working with married couples all over the Detroit area for more than 10 years.
