About Me Walter Beard
I’m Walter Beard, the guy behind the keyboard here at BlakeMoyneShop.com. What started as a quiet curiosity for how things are made turned into a lifelong obsession with figuring out why some products earn your loyalty while others just gather dust. This blog is where I bridge that gap between hype and honesty one review at a time.
My Journey So Far
Before diving into digital reviews, I spent nearly a decade in the apparel and merchandising world learning the language of fabrics, supply chains, and relentless marketing campaigns. My days were filled with product samples, late-night quality checks, and spreadsheets that somehow held both numbers and stories. I saw how easily “eco-friendly” or “hand-crafted” could become buzzwords instead of promises. That frustration planted the seed for this site.
After earning a degree in Business Administration, I moved from Seattle to Asheville, chasing cleaner air and calmer days. The shift gave me space to reconnect with the simple things gear that lasts, kitchen tools that actually work, and tech that simplifies rather than complicates life. When you strip away the noise, you start to value the beauty of products that do what they’re supposed to quietly, reliably, without drama.
Why This Blog Exists
In 2025, I decided to take this once-merch-focused domain and rebuild it into something far more personal. I kept the spirit of craftsmanship alive but replaced the storefront with stories. Every review here is shaped by experience not sponsorships, not algorithms. I test what I can, talk to real users, and share my thoughts as plainly as I’d tell a friend over coffee.
My goal? To make buying feel human again. To give you insight, not impulse.
Beyond the Screen
When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me fixing up a wooden table I found at a flea market or hiking through the Blue Ridge trails with a notebook in my pocket. Those moments remind me that simplicity doesn’t mean settling it means knowing what matters and what doesn’t. And that’s exactly the spirit I want this blog to carry forward.
Thanks for being here. Whether you’re hunting for a gadget that lasts, a kitchen tool that earns its place, or just honest words in a world of marketing fog you’re in the right place.
