At first sight, James Hunter looks like a typical African-American thirty-something male.
The jersey declares his love of sports; and his sneakers, meticulously selected to coordinate with the colors of his fitted hat and jersey, are a silent hint-and-a-half of his love of Hip Hop culture.
The moment he speaks, you’re hit with a soup-thick, unmistakable New York accent. He has the kind of energy and enthusiasm that inspires virtually everyone he meets.
After about five minutes of good conversation and seeing his million-dollar confident smile, you forget about the most obvious thing that sets him apart from his peers: his large motorized wheelchair.
Ironically, its presence has no bearing on his drive or personality.
“Take the bull by the horns. Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you, have confidence in yourself and create the opportunities.”
