Since 2004, Mr. Hunt has maintained a prolific output as a writer, specializing in creative fiction, expository writing and, most recently, fantasy novels. His expertise in these genres is reflected in his numerous achievements, including the publication of a book in 2017 that reached number one in three genres and number four in a fourth genre on Amazon. He began writing this novel while residing in Mexico City and completed it shortly after earning his graduate degree. Mr. Hunt's commitment to the craft of fiction dates back to the 1980s, when he authored several award-winning short stories.
From 1998 to 2013, Mr. Hunt contributed to higher education as an adjunct lecturer at City College of New York. In this role, he shared his knowledge of literature and writing with students, fostering critical thinking and creative expression.
Between 2000 and 2002, Mr. Hunt served as content manager for moving.com. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in developing an innovative application that enabled users to schedule every aspect of their move online, from storage solutions to hiring movers. His expertise led to media appearances, including an interview on the local PBS station in St. Paul for the program "Money Matters," where he discussed best practices for hiring movers and safeguarding against fraud. Additionally, Mr. Hunt appeared on the Judge Maria show in an episode that aired two decades ago, where he successfully defended himself in a dispute related to a wine club venture.

This advanced study provided him with critical analytical skills and deepened his understanding of literary traditions, directly informing his teaching and writing careers. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in classical humanities and a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Ohio State University, both awarded concurrently in 1986. The interdisciplinary nature of these degrees has enriched his narrative techniques and character development within his fiction.
