Walter was one of the three co-founders of the [[Society for Individual Liberty]] in [[1969]], one of the earliest libertarian movement organizations, which grew out of the libertarians who split from the [[Young Americans for Freedom]]. He eschewed a role in overt party politics until the mid to late 1980s when he and another SIL co-founder, Donald Ernsberger, decided to give the Libertarian Party a try. Dave was elected Vice Chair of the LP at the [[1989 Libertarian Party National Convention|Seattle convention]] in [[1987]] and Don was elected to the LNC. Dave's background was in accounting, with broad experience as chief financial officer and other finance roles at large companies. As such, he brought to the positions of Vice Chair and then Chair of the LP excellent management, financial and people skills.
