Hunt was named National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-America in 2000 as a sophomore.

During a team trip to Phoenix, Arizona during Hunt’s junior year, he was reminded of the value of participating in team sports. “We were a close-knit group and to be able to get away and just play some teams from out west while building team camaraderie really cemented our trust in one another,” he recalls. Hunt certainly demonstrated the traits of a trusted and reliable teammate.
Hunt serves as a Business Development Representative for the digital marketing company, Hibu. He and his wife, Kati live in Perrysburg, Ohio with their children Kasey, Kamryn, Kali and Krosby.
