In Athens, Georgia, Walker initiated a D’Lites fast food franchise in 1984.

In 1999, Walker established Renaissance Man Food Services, a company that specializes in chicken products. Following a casual discussion with a Sysco vice president who requested some of his mother’s chicken-breading recipes, Sysco Corp. became his initial producer.

In 2002, he founded H. Walker Enterprises in Savannah as a holding company for most of his business endeavors, with Renaissance Man Food Services being the largest among them.

Walker emphasized Renaissance Man Food Services, identified as one of the largest minority-owned meat processors in the country with $70 million in yearly revenue, as one of his preferred companies.

Later, Walker provided significantly lower figures during deposition testimony for a lawsuit, stating that his business achieved an average of $1.5 million in annual profits from 2008 to 2017.
