Additionally, he served as a lead sports analyst for Fox Sports and the UFC for both College Football and the UFC. Brian’s business leadership includes creating Hire Heroes USA into the nation’s top Military Veteran Employment assistance firm and two Private Equity portfolio companies.

Before joining Hunt, Brian served as Chief Operating Officer at FirstKey Homes, a single-family rental REIT, owned by Cerberus Capital, which owns and operates more than 36,000 single-family rental homes in 25 U.S. markets. In this position, Brian was responsible for all company and property operations, including property management, marketing, construction, and platform execution.
