Hunter Burkey

Born in East Fort Worth, Texas as an only child my parents were divorced before I turned 6. My father passed away when I was 17 and I took that very hard and self-destructed. I quit school, threw away football scholarships and made terrible life decisions.

Flash forward to 2008, I'm 22, homeless and living in my vehicle. I was invited to Austin one weekend to see some friends and ended up never leaving. I got a job as a valet in downtown Austin, couch surfed for 9 months until getting my own apartment.

4 years later I opened up my own valet company with a business partner. We quickly expanded that company from Austin, to Houston, to DFW, to Denver. This business now brings in an annual revenue of $3.2 mil a year.

In 2015 I opened up a private security company in Houston, and quickly expanded this company to Austin, DFW, San Antonio and Denver. This business now brings in over $2.1 mil a year in annual revenue.

Since then, I have opened a non-profit organization and an online store, as well as a training academy that promotes firearms safety and training, as well as state licensing for private security.

We still have so much planned, and I would love to share my story and my businesses stories to the world!
