James D. Hunt  - PERSONAL BACKGROUND:
After eleven years as an executive in technically-oriented companies followed by four years doing PR and writing on the agency side, I've targeted Hunt Communications to deliver technically capable marketing and writing services that adapt to your needs rather than the other way around.

I am fascinated by interesting innovations and get a supreme sense of satisfaction out of researching a new product or technology's salient points and structuring a well-crafted story about "why" it is important to the industry at large. I also enjoy the interview process of finding out how real customers are using these products and what kind of results they're getting.

I am very serious about meeting deadlines and always prefer to work on a project basis whether for agencies, magazines or corporate clients.

My personal demons are "boundless curiosity" wed hand-in-hand with an "obsessive work ethic". The result is that I stay supremely busy, but I also get to constantly feed my techno-addiction.
