Compete Magazine profiles member of the Equality Coaching Alliance Kirk Walker:
Coach of the Women's Softball Program at Oregon State University for the last 18 years, according to the school, "Walker reigns as Oregon State's all-time winningest softball coach...."
He's not only an NCAA Coach at a PAC-12 school, he has also been a coach with the Amateur Softball Association (ASA), the 2004 Olympic USA
National Softball Team, the USA Elite Team for three summers, he's presented at a number of clinics and camps, been involved in publishing and video projects, and even been a co-owner of a softball school.
And what makes the story of this NCAA Division I coach all the more remarkable is that he is openly gay.
