I am William Hunt, a native of Missouri, born in 1957. Since approximately 1980, I have been a resident of Alaska, where I raised my three daughters as a single parent, commencing when my youngest was a mere three months old.

My upbringing was imbued with religious values, attending church during my formative years and progressing through the educational system. I began my academic journey at Henry Clay Elementary School, followed by North East Junior High, and ultimately graduated from Overland Park Christian High School in 1975, ranking among the top 10 students in a modest graduating class of nine.

Following high school, I briefly pursued theological studies at a Bible college but opted to discontinue after a year due to mismatched interests. Nonetheless, I remained employed at the institution until 1977, fulfilling maintenance obligations and assuming the role of lead custodian, ensuring the facility’s readiness for each day’s activities.
