Hunter is deeply curious about how to integrate natural systems and the built environment in ways that enrich our full ecological community. An Arkansas native, Hunter formerly taught liveaboard sailing in the Caribbean and Chesapeake Bay between delivering sailboats around the Atlantic, later working as an assistant camp director in Mississippi and a bike mechanic on Frenchman in New Orleans. After starting a family, Hunter was drawn back to The Natural State by the lure of Northwest Arkansas landscapes.

He holds a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the Fay Jones School of Architecture and an English degree from Vanderbilt University. Certified in prescribed fire for land management, Hunter is fascinated with our regional ecologies and how we can increase landscape performance, reduce footprints, lower costs, and honor the land of which we are a part.
