Doyle Walker is a born and bred Texan, having grown up on a dairy farm in Central Texas. His mother and father's ancestors were true frontier pioneers, having moved to Texas from the Carolina's and Virginia, by way of Alabama and Mississippi. They helped found and settle the Milam County village of Friendship, Texas, in the mid-1800's. Walker was born in 1949, the youngest of three brothers. He moved to the city...Temple, Texas...when he was in elementary school. In 1969, while in college, he married his high school sweetheart, Cathy. A few years later, upon graduation, the two moved to Plano, Texas where he started a teaching career.

While having a background of working with public and private schools for over 40 years, Walker was a teacher at Plano High School and principal at Vines High School for almost 20 of those years. During his time as a high school history teacher and later as an administrator, Walker was chosen "Who's Who in the South and Southwest" as well as being named an "Outstanding Young Educator of Texas". He received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 1972 and his Masters of Education Degree from the University of North Texas in 1978.

The Walker's have one son, a U.S. federal agent, and three beautiful grandchildren. Doyle and Cathy currently live in the Dallas area, and their house is run by their two rescued dogs, Katy & Kara.
