Hunter has only had the reins for just over a year, but he's already making changes and keeping up with the times. He's constantly striving to improve his business, but he's also a full time college student as well as spending much of his time auditioning for commercials and other things in Hollywood.

Mike was working his own advertising company when a client approached him about selling espresso machines in 1995. Starbucks wasn't around yet and he didn't even know what a latte was, but he decided to take it on as a side job.
