About me

Gender Male
Industry Human Resources
Occupation Psychologist
Location Kenora, Ontario, Canada
Introduction I was raised in Southwest Missouri, living in the passive solar home designed by my father until I moved away in 1967. It was always OK that ideas could be discussed in our home. What "is" was never quite as important as what "could be." My father, Ralph Edwin Hunt, was a private pilot and European automobile enthusiast. My mother, Genevieve Ann Likins Hunt, pursued interests in women's empowerment, social change, literature and poetry. I studied at New College of Florida from 1967-70. I moved to Canada in 1972, where I completed my professional training. I have lived across Canada since that time, from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Since 1992, I have lived in Kenora, Ontario, where I specialize in cross-cultural psychology. I also spend about 3 months per year in Arizona and California. There is an agenda for behavioural, perceptual and societal change in almost everything I do. I regard human accomplishment in the spheres of the arts, sciences, conviviality and culture as the most important achievement of all (as each discipline is able to alter and refine our perception and understanding of ourselves and the world we live in).

You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?

A promise to be good for the rest of the day.
