Executive Director

Hunter's entrepreneurial spirit sparked in the 5th grade, turning snow cones, flipping Jordan sneakers, and goodwill finds into treasures on eBay, a testament to his business drive. But this journey was shaped by more than just a flair for trade. With a 920/1600 SAT score, Hunter faced an education system where his strengths were overshadowed by challenges in reading and comprehension, worsened by a learning disability, which he would strengthen in the future. Classroom activities like popcorn reading became arenas of anxiety, fueling an environment where bullying found its root.

Yet, it was in the domain of Entrepreneurship & Innovation, complemented by a minor in Construction Management at Ball State University, that Hunter found his true calling. Here, academic struggles transformed into a relentless drive, propelled not just by a quest for success but by the echoes of a past that dared to define his worth. Each achievement, each milestone reached with High School Hustle, stands as a testament to a resolve forged in the face of doubt.

When asked about his deep-rooted dedication, Hunter's thoughts drift back to a younger self: a boy not just bullied and underestimated but also hidden in layers of sadness and depression. Memories of being an outlier, marking the pages of a story yet to be rewritten, echo through his mind. Each step forward on his journey transforms negativity into a narrative of victory over seemingly insurmountable odds. It's a story underpinned by faith and propelled by an unbreakable spirit—a testament to the transformative power of perseverance and faith in Jesus’s plan for oneself.
