Retired from the software consulting world, Ted Waltman is an enthusiastic backcountry pilot and aircraft builder, with several flying aircraft to his credit including a Murphy Moose and his current Backcountry Super Cubs SQ–2. An avid outdoorsman, climber, and general adventurer, he calls Colorado home, but continues to hear the call of Alaska.
