Sanders Wallis holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in Management from the University of Georgia at Athens. He received the degree in 2008, which at the time was the latest in a long line of achievements for the ambitious young man.

Just a few years before that, Sanders Wallis became an Eagle Scout, achieving the highest rank that a Boy Scout can earn. It is also the most difficult, requiring a Boy Scout to not only earn twenty-one merit badges, but to meet several additional requirements, including one considered by many to be its most challenging, the Eagle Scout Service Project.
As Sanders Wallis knows, service to others is built into the whole Scouting concept; the phrase "to help other people at all times" is part of the oath that every Boy Scout takes even before earning its first level rank, Tenderfoot. The Eagle Scout Service Project requirement calls for each aspirant to "plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, school or community."

"I did something with the Open Door Home," Sanders Wallis recalls, referring to an Atlanta-area project that benefits underprivileged kids. "Basically, I put together and organized their whole athletic and outdoor activities projects. I raised funds for new items like basketballs, baseballs, and stuff like that."

One Sanders Wallis had identified the project he wanted to undertake, he had to get it approved. At that stage his project was just a proposal, and it was taken for granted that, like virtually all other Eagle Scout Service Project proposals, it would be refined before being finalized. And sure enough, he discovered there are more that he could do.

"They didn't really have a closet or anything like that, so I built out a specialty closet for their outdoor activities. Everything was organized. And also it was the donations. So, they were able to get outside and enjoy those kinds of activities."

Once the Service Project was complete, Sanders Wallis prepared a report on it, which was used in the final review of his qualifications for becoming an Eagle Scout. The project remains something that he is proud of, and is useful to the Open Door Home to this day.

Since earning his college degree, Sanders Wallis has worked at a telecommunications company called Cbeyond, and is currently the Director of New Business Development for the Wallis Printing Company. He also holds a real estate license and plans to eventually move into that business.
