PURE Welcomes Legendary CIA Engineer Ken Walther to Organizing Committee

A recipient of the Intelligence Medal of Merit for conducting operations of high national security value, as well as the Career Intelligence Medal and numerous certificates from the US Department of State and from foreign intelligence services, Ken is instructor, engineer, paramilitary colleague and technologist, but he would tell you he's best known for being married to his wife Lena Walther, the Honorary Consul of Sweden in Las Vegas. 

In addition to running his own technology firm, Ken serves as Special Projects Manager of the Consular Chamber of Commerce. 

But we just call him "Q".

Spending years under cover in sub-Saharan Africa, Ken saw first-hand how the lack of potable water decimated communities.  He also saw how improper distribution of newly acquired sources had the potential to do more harm than good.  We are thrilled to have his valuable experience and advice directly involved with PURE.
