Some things about me that may surprise people. -My legal name is Joseph Hunter, but I go by Hunter. -I do magic outside of swimming...mostly "up close" street magic. -I love singing and musical theater. Since most lead roles go to tenors, I end up playing support roles as a bass. -I'm somewhat late to the sport of swimming. I have been competing part time since I was 5, but never really got serious until my Jr year in High School. -I was a multi-sport athlete growing up. -My Gold Medal from Tokyo came as a prelim swimmer for the 4 X 100M Medley Relay (backstroke leg), but the pride I felt when they played our National Anthem and raised our Flag brought me to tears, even though I wasn't on the podium with the guys who swam in finals.
