While working for Schwab, Walker was introduced to the Registered Investment Advisor Business Model. After 6 years at Schwab, Walker went to work for Strategic Capital Group in Gig Harbor, Washington.  There he learned how to design and implement a more sophisticated, multi-dimensional portfolio and gained additional insight into the business.  Strategic Capital Group caters to ultra-high net worth individuals, families and foundations.  This leaves a large group of people underserved. 

Walker started Stonebridge Capital Management with the intent of filling this gap.  He employs the same basic premise used in investments of high net worth individuals.  He incorporates custom designed multi-dimensional portfolios for each individual client.  He caters to each of his clients needs by using a model designed for them encompassing their investment tolerance and goals. 

Walker's personal interests include alpine and Nordic skiing, bicycling, golf and cooking.
