Walter Green

Walter Green's father died when he was a teenager, and it left an indelible impression on him that life is short, precious, and unpredictable. This profound loss magnified his profound appreciation to those who had impacted his life. It also led t his journey of expressing gratitude, which was captured in his first book, This Is the Moment!: How One Man's Yearlong Journey Captured the Power of Extraordinary Gratitude.

Walter was Chairman of the Board and CEO of Harrison Conference Services for twenty-five years, which became the leading executive conference center management company in the US. He had been active for years in the Young Presidents Organization and remains a member of the Chief Executives Organization.

Since selling his company, he has devoted himself to supporting various nonprofits, primarily in San Diego, California, with a focus on education and health for the underserved communities. Walter has also been very active mentoring young adults.

He has been an active supporter of Craig and Marc Kielburger, founders of Legacy+, formerly the Free the Children Organization. Walter and his wife were also pioneering supporters of Legacy College, which offers full scholarships and college-level education to hundreds of students in rural Kenya.

Walter lives with his wife, Lola, in San Diego, California.
