As President of Lair Family Enterprises, Hunter is dedicated to leading and growing our organization to make a profound impact on people’s lives.

He is passionate about applying his expertise to ensure that more families have access to the dignity and world-class care they deserve.

Hunter’s roots in leadership began early as an Eagle Scout and as a student-athlete on the University of Tennessee Men’s Swim Team. Today, he pours that same energy into the local community, serving as Board President for the Faith Builders Carolinas Raleigh Chapter and volunteering his time with USA Swimming and The Summit Church. For Hunter, his faith in Jesus is the compass for his life, driving a personal mission to simply love people well.
