Like John, Ray has been in and around various aspects of the housing business for 45 years. His career path was somewhat different than Johns in that he worked in senior leadership in a public, vertically integrated Manufactured and Modular home company for 35 years where the territory he was responsible for was the western half of the United States. That transformed into a 4 year stent with a local Housing Company where he was blessed to learn an entire new set of skills related to housing, before embarking on a path of entrepreneurship.
Professionally, Ray owns an Insurance Agency that specializes in various personal lines including Manufactured Housing and small commercial insurance. Ray holds 7 different insurance licenses and an advanced insurance designation as a Certified Insurance Counselor. Ray also holds a Mortgage Loan Originators license and a Real Estate license, as well as manufactured housing sales and dealer's licenses. He brings those skill sets and expertise to John Hunter Home Builders customers.
Personally, Ray and his wife of 39 years enjoy that same strong Faith in God and love of the outdoors that John and his family do. Ray has owned 2 different ranches locally in the past 15 years and currently fishes bass tournaments with his father and brother.
Ron has been in the home building business specifically for over 45 years. We like to say Ron has forgotten more about building a house than most will ever know. He has built, directly and indirectly, 10's of thousands of houses in his career. Ron brings to John Hunters Home builders relationships with vendors and suppliers, expertise second to no one, and a reputation as one of the premier home builders in the area.
Professionally, Ron has worked with several of the large, public home building companies, as well as several local companies. He has been in "field" capacities with these companies, as well as in senior leadership roles. He has also trained and mentored many others in various home building roles, both for administrative and superintendent positions.
Personally, Ron is a veteran and we are extremely proud of his service. Ron also enjoys being a grandparent where he gets to spoil his grandchildren and at the same time teach and impart his wisdom to them from the Grandparent perspective.
