Summary
Hunter Mcintyre is Pro Endurance Athlete, Broken Skull Champion, BoundlessTV co-Host, Obstacle Course Racing Champion, and a Macho Man. With his unique catchphrase, "biceps win races", Hunter strikes a brilliant contrast to the "skinny minis", each and every time he takes the podium.
Hunter, AKA 'The Sheriff" loves to perform with the showmanship of a WWF wrestler. He is, however, an inveterate lover of all things, particularly life. At 27, he has already been a lumberjack in Montana, a party "enthusiast", and male model. His wild and crazy charisma shines. Hunter, was born to entertain!
