While a member they won 7 national titles as a team and Bookwalter won nine individual national titles in Mountain Bike, Road and Cyclo-Cross disciplines.^[5] He graduated from Lees-McRae in 2006 with a BS in Biology. Bookwalter was crowned United States national under-23 time trial champion the following year. In 2009 he won the prologue in the Tour of Utah.^[5]

He came to the attention of many cycling fans for the first time when he finished second behind Bradley Wiggins in the opening time trial at the 2010 Giro d'Italia.^[6]

He has competed at (amongst others) the 2010 Liège–Bastogne–Liège^[7] and the 2009 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. He also competed at the 2009 UCI Road World Championships in the Men's Road Race.

In 2013, Bookwalter won the first stage of the Tour of Qatar, which was marked by strong winds, creating breaks in the peloton. Bookwalter and two other riders escaped from the leading group with 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) to cover and successfully defended their lead, and Bookwalter outsprinted the pair. The chasers were on their heels as they crossed the line and were awarded the same time as him.^[8] A team time trial victory in stage two allowed Bookwalter to keep the yellow jersey through stage three before ultimately finishing in second overall to Mark Cavendish. Bookwalter would go on to finish runner-up in the U.S. National Time Trial and Road Race that spring as well as runner-up to Rohan Dennis in the inaugural Tour of Alberta.

In 2015, Bookwalter captured his first classification title by winning the points classification at the Tour of Utah, where he also finished on the overall podium.^[5] He won the second stage of the 2015 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, a mountaintop finish, to claim the yellow jersey^[9] which he would wear for two days before ultimately finishing second overall to teammate Rohan Dennis. The following year he would take another podium finish on home soil in the Tour of California. That year he would also compete for Team USA at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the road race and time trial.^[5]
