He is also the co-developer of CyclingPeaks power meter analysis software, www.CyclingPeaksSoftware.com and founder of the Peaks Coaching Group, Inc. www.PeaksCoachingGroup.com . He also co-authored the book, "Training and Racing with a Power Meter.", which is the gold standard for coaches and athletes in learning how to train with a power meter.

On the forefront of coaching athletes with power meters, he has analyzed over 3000 power meter files and has gotten it down to an artful science. Hunter knew that something had to be done to improve the status of the current software in the Power meter market. He set out to try and bring about CyclingPeaks Software from the viewpoint of bringing an athlete and coach closer, and also bringing a simple program to beginning Power meter users. His goal has always been to teach the athletes he coaches how to analyze their own power meter data using the latest tools. This goes hand in hand with his power meter training philosophy, that a power meter is a tool for an athlete to help discover their true weaknesses, quantitatively assess training improvements and refine the focus of their training.
Hunter resides in Bedford, Virginia with his wife Kate, and their family, Thomas, Jack and Susannah. If in the area, watch out for the rider with 3-4 power meters attached to his bike, as for sure he’s surely doing testing going up and down the local mountain, The Peaks of Otter.
