Requested edit

COI Disclosure: I am an employee of [Hunt Consolidated, Inc. / relevant Hunt entity] and have a financial conflict of interest regarding this article, per WP:COI. I am submitting the following edit request rather than editing the article directly.

Summary: Update career and civic sections with more current, independently sourced information; the current article has not been updated since roughly 2014 and omits recent business and civic activity.

Hunter L. Hunt is an American businessman, currently serving as Co-Chairman Hunt Consolidated, Inc.; Chairman and CEO, Hunt Energy Holdings; and Chairman and CEO of Hunt Oil Company.

Early life

Hunt is a lifelong resident of Dallas, Texas, and one of five children of Ray Lee Hunt and Nancy Ann Hunt. His paternal grandfather, H. L. Hunt, founded Hunt Oil Company in 1934. His father, Ray Lee Hunt, is chairman of the Hunt Family of Companies.

Education

Hunt graduated summa cum laude from Southern Methodist University, earning degrees in economics and political science. He later remained involved with the university and serves on the executive board of the Lyle School of Engineering.

In 2009, Hunt co-founded the Hunt Institute for Engineering & Humanity within SMU’s Lyle School of Engineering, which focuses on applying engineering and technology-based solutions to global humanitarian challenges.

Career

After graduating from Southern Methodist University, Hunt worked for the investment banking firm Morgan Stanley, serving in the corporate finance and commodities trading departments in New York City and London.

In 1998, Hunt joined his family’s business and established two electricity-related ventures: Hunt Power and Sharyland Utilities. Sharyland Utilities emerged as a transmission and distribution utility serving South Texas and was the first new regulated electric utility formed in the United States in more than three decades.

In 1999, Hunt took a leave of absence to work on the George W. Bush presidential campaign, serving in the policy group focusing on energy, taxation, and budget issues. He returned to the Hunt organization in January 2001.

During his tenure with the organization, Hunt has held leadership roles across the oil, gas, and energy sectors and has overseen domestic and international expansion activities. Hunt Oil Company has held interests in liquefied natural gas projects in Yemen and Peru and has participated in major U.S. shale plays, including the Bakken region.

Hunt also led the expansion of Hunt Energy Network, which owns and operates utility-scale battery storage projects in Texas within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

Civic and philanthropic involvement

Hunt has been active in civic and philanthropic initiatives in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. In 2013, he helped bring the All Stars Project to Dallas, an organization focused on youth development in under-resourced communities.

In 2025, Hunt participated in the launch of the Dallas Works Summer Youth Employment Program in collaboration with All Stars Project, Inc.

Hunt is chair emeritus of the Dallas College Foundation and serves on the executive committee of the Dallas Citizens Council. He is also chair of Texas Health Resources and serves on the boards of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, the Atlantic Council International Advisory Board, and the Middle East Institute.

Since 2011, Hunt has served as an honorary consul of the United Kingdom.

Recent awards

In 2025, Hunt received the EarthX Innovation and Investment Leadership Award, which recognizes leadership in advancing sustainability-focused investment and innovation.

Hello! Could you use this template to reframe your suggested edits: Template:Edit COI? Thanks. And could you be clearer than saying you "may have a potential COI"? Please read over the WP:COI guidelines and determine whether or not you have actually do have a COI. I'm happy to answer questions or clarify anything. There's nothing inherently wrong with paid editing, it just needs to be declared. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:54, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello Ganesha. I am updating Hunters page as I am employed by Hunt Oil Company. Is this allowed? What do I need to do to in order to get the updates live? ~2026-17280-55 (talk) 19:41, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

It is permitted to make suggestions on the talk page. You can use the WP:Edit request wizard to make suggestions. An experienced editor will then review the edits and choose whether to implement them in whole, in part, or not at all. Thank you for disclosing your COI. You can read over the WP:Plain and simple COI guide for more detail. —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:09, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi! May I get an update on this? Where am I on the list for my edits to be reviewed? ~2026-43207-62 (talk) 01:58, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions. As it was not previously on the page, I'm adding the detail about Morgan Stanley to the article. However, overall most of the changes would result in a promotional tone and resume-like article not in keeping with Wikipedia's style. We also generally prefer to have more independent sourcing from reliable newspapers, as opposed to corporate profiles and press releases. I recommend searching for alternate sourcing and using the WP:Edit request wizard to make another request. Thanks. —Ganesha811 (talk) 11:35, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I submitted another request. Are you able to confirm it is in the queue waiting for review? Thanks! ~2026-43207-62 (talk) 19:36, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

I can confirm it is in the queue. You used {{request edit}} in addition to {{edit COI}} when only the latter was necessary, but I took care of that. An editor will be along to take a proper look eventually. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 20:04, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Disclosure: I have a connection to the subject of this article. I work for one of the Hunt family companies. In line with Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guideline, I'm proposing changes here rather than editing the article directly.

Summary of request: The current article is a short stub built mostly on corporate-profile sourcing. I'd like to expand it with additional biographical and career detail, sourced primarily to independent outlets (Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Dallas Innovates) and to official/third-party records (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, CSIS), rather than the subject's own companies. A prior version of this request was declined for promotional tone and over-reliance on corporate/press-release sourcing; I've rewritten it in plain narrative prose and removed language flagged as promotional.

Hunter L. Hunt is an American businessman based in Dallas, Texas. He is co-chief executive officer of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. and chairman and chief executive officer of Hunt Energy, LLC, the holding company for Hunt Oil Company.

Early life and education

Hunt is a member of the Hunt family of Texas. His paternal grandfather, H. L. Hunt, founded Hunt Oil Company in 1934, and his father, Ray Lee Hunt, is chairman of Hunt Consolidated.

He graduated summa cum laude from Southern Methodist University with degrees in economics and political science. In 2009 he co-founded the Hunter and Stephanie Hunt Institute for Engineering & Humanity at SMU's Lyle School of Engineering, which applies engineering methods to humanitarian problems.

Career

Hunt began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he spent about eight years in corporate finance and commodities trading in New York and London.

In 1998 he joined the family business and founded Hunt Power and Sharyland Utilities, an electric transmission and distribution company; Sharyland was described at the time as the first new regulated electric utility formed in the United States in more than three decades. From 1999 to 2001 he took a leave of absence to work on the policy staff of George W. Bush's presidential campaign, focusing on energy, tax and budget issues.

In October 2018, Sharyland and Sempra Energy agreed to a transaction in which Sempra acquired a 50 percent stake in Sharyland's South Texas transmission business for about $98 million, while Sharyland's remaining Texas transmission assets were transferred to Oncor as part of Oncor's roughly $1.3 billion acquisition of InfraREIT, Inc.; the deal closed in May 2019. Sharyland has since continued to operate as a transmission utility co-owned by entities controlled by Hunt and by Sempra Energy.

Hunt has since overseen the expansion of Hunt Energy Network, which develops battery-storage projects within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas market.

In January 2026, Hunt was appointed to a three-year term on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

In May 2025, Hunt received the inaugural EarthX Investment and Innovation Leadership Award, presented at the EarthX E-Capital Summit in Dallas.

Civic and philanthropic activities

Hunt helped bring the All Stars Project to Dallas in 2013, and in 2025 the organization launched the Dallas Works Summer Youth Employment Program in partnership with Hunt.

He is chair of Texas Health Resources and chair emeritus of the Dallas College Foundation, and serves on the boards of the Atlantic Council's International Advisory Board and the Middle East Institute.

In 2014, Hunt and his wife, Stephanie, purchased Dallas's former Masonic Temple downtown with plans to convert it into a hub for civic and youth-focused organizations.

Personal life

Hunt is married to Stephanie Erwin Hunt.
