Hunter's Favorite Sports to Watch and to Play

I like watching major events like the golf majors, the Masters, and the Super Bowl, but I really enjoy sports more when they’re live."
"I’m not too much of a fan of watching the weekly games, but I have a lot of respect for the athletes—their training, what they put their bodies through, and what they do to entertain so many people. I don’t watch many sports nowadays, but I do get out on the golf course occasionally," he added.
Favorite Mottos to Live By
On his favorite mottos to live by, he shared, "One that has always stuck with me, and that my father instilled in me at a very young age, is positive thoughts equal positive outcomes, and negative thoughts equal negative outcomes."
"It’s very simple, but I apply it to most things in my life, if not everything," he added.

Regarding his alternate career choice, he said, "I would still be entrepreneur and continue to build businesses that fulfill me by providing value and helping others."
His Favorite Music
On his favorite music, he remarked, "That's a tough one. I like all genres of music so basically it just depends on a time of day or time of year thing. If you hit shuffle on my phone, it will bounce you from Garth Brooks to Owl City to heavy metal bands. So, I really enjoy all types of music, and I love mostly any music that makes me want to move and dance."
