MEET ALEX WALTER — FOUNDER & OWNER
“Thundercloud Gun Club started with a simple idea: create a place where people could enjoy the outdoors, spend time with friends and family, and experience the traditions of hunting and sporting in a setting that felt truly special.
I grew up in Tampa and have always had a strong connection to the outdoors. Hunting, shooting, fishing, and spending time in the woods have been a big part of my life. Over the years, I also developed a career in real estate, construction, and hospitality. Those experiences eventually came together in the idea for Thundercloud.
I opened Thundercloud Gun Club in 2022 with a vision that went beyond building a shooting facility. I wanted to create a genuine sporting club — a place where the quality of the land, the experience, the food, the hospitality, and most importantly, the people all mattered.
Today, my role is a little bit of everything. I spend a lot of time thinking about where the club is going, working with our team, talking with members, developing new experiences, and making sure we stay true to what we set out to build.
But probably the part I enjoy most is seeing members make Thundercloud their own — whether that’s introducing a friend to sporting clays, spending a morning hunting quail, hosting a client, or simply sitting around the lodge after a day outside.
We’re still relatively young as a club, and I think that’s one of the exciting things about Thundercloud. We’re building something for the long term, with a lot of respect for the traditions that came before us.
At the end of the day, my goal is pretty simple: build a club that I’m proud to be a member of myself, and create a place that people look forward to coming back to year after year.”
