Founder, Soundproof Direct & Commercial Acoustics
In 2013 Walker Peek founded Commercial Acoustics, which designs and builds acoustic panels, sound barriers, and sound masking systems for apartments, hotels, hospitals, and offices in Tampa. He then built Soundproof Direct so smaller commercial orders could buy those same products online.
Before acoustics, Walker spent five years at Kennedy Space Center with Craig Technologies, certifying aerospace manufacturing to the AS9100 standard and leading Six Sigma process-improvement teams on NASA programs. He is a certified Industrial Noise Control Engineer and the author of Architectural Acoustics: A Practical Handbook.
