Hunter attended Northwood Elementary, Hillside Elementary, Haynes Bridge Middle and Centennial High School. Hunter received his Appointment to USAFA in the Spring of 2016. Hunter’s dedication over the last four years at USAFA is measured by the honorable distinctions and many memories he’s proudly carrying into his post graduate future. He began his tenure with a bang, as Hunter and the rest of the USAFA Swim Team won the Western Athletic Conference Championship his four-degree (Freshman) year. That summer, Hunter flew gliders and completed survival training.

In his last year, Hunter was the Support Officer for his squad where he organized many engaging activities, football tailgates, award ceremonies and other functions. A Computer Engineering Major, Hunter managed to not only walk away with professional distinction, but with academic distinction as well, having made the Dean’s List every semester at USAFA, and graduating as one of eight computer engineers in his class. As for Hunter’s next assignments, he will be headed to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. There, he will attend the Air Force Institute of Technology, pursuing a Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering as a Second Lieutenant.

Hunter’s family and friends could not be prouder of his commitment, hard work and achievement! They know his future is bright and congratulate him and the rest of the USAFA Class of 2020!
