Dave Hunt

Meet the Writer

Dave Hunt was born in Hampton Roads, where he lived before moving with his wife Liz to Nelson County in 2017. He is a 36-year-old college senior, proving that it’s never too late to finish what one starts. Expecting to graduate from the University of Virginia in the spring of 2021, Dave and Liz plan to return to Hampton Roads to grow their family. In addition to school, Dave has worked and continues to work in various public speaking venues. He has narrated tours, weddings, parades and even a music festival. He is fond of saying — and knows Liz is tired of hearing — that there are few things on this Earth that he enjoys more than standing and talking in front of an audience, and one of those things is the sound of his voice.

In my real life, this is what I do: Full-time student; part-time tour guide, chestnut harvester, delivery driver and emcee.

My favorite writer is Mark Twain.

My favorite book is The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.

When I have time for myself, I like to take naps with my two cats, Ted and Whisky.

My favorite place I’ve traveled to is Cuba, where playing baseball was an unforgettable experience.

I would like to travel to Ireland

Three people I most admire are:

  1. My beautiful, intelligent and enterprising wife, Liz
  2. My best and most inspirational friend, Brian J. DePrinzio.
  3. My mother, who taught me compassion, perseverance and correct grammar.

On my bucket list, I would like to:

  1. Learn to scuba-dive
  2. Visit every U.S. state
  3. Tell stories to my grandchildren.
