Our Team

Brian helps people who want to fix their vision. When people are dealing with all the details to get from Point A (I can’t see) to Point B (I can see), Brian helps to get them there. In a way, he’s a bit like the Mayflower.

Mat has the gift of making any room easy and comfortable through conversation that feels as natural as breathing. Sure, an eye exam could be anxiety-provoking, but only until Mat walks into the room and makes the process as relaxing as spending time with an old friend.

Morgan is like that friend who not only agrees to help you move, but also gladly takes over all the details and organization of the project. She is so friendly and so organized that she makes every system run more smoothly, simply by being involved.

If you could distill a rainbow into pure concentrate, you’d have a pretty close match to Mariam’s personality. She makes every room cheerier and every staff member and patient happier, just by being nearby.

On top of being super smart, Trevez has the gift of fashion. I didn’t know that there was such a gift until meeting her. She combines her knowledge of optics with her gift to help people find their perfect glasses.

Some people have the gift of helping others do their best work. Kasey spends her time in the office making every meeting more productive and more fun. Her time outside of meetings is spent fine-tuning the messaging of Hunter Vision on social media.

Kim helps out patients get what they need, when something special is needed. She makes it her job that every patient who has a special request or a unique question is ensured an answer that meets their need. She’s like a wise genie.

Johanna has years and years of experience in optometry and is kind enough to share her expertise by helping patients have an easy time through exams and in training new staff. She’s bilingual and kind and smart and fun.

Nicole never misses a detail. Never. There are several systems in place to make sure no detail is ever missed, because anyone can miss a detail once in a while. Except Nicole. She is more reliable than a supercomputer. And also way, way more fun to be around.

Lauren creates peace wherever she goes -- like a tranquil river. She makes the journey through eye exams more fun and breezier than it seems like it should be. Bonus fun fact: she’s fluent in sign language! That’s fun.

Maria is the nicest human being on earth. Maybe the nicest in the history of the world. She’s a wonderful ophthalmic technician and details person for patients on surgery day, but beyond that, she’s just a wonderful human being.

Ciandra is super fun to be around and also super brilliant. She’ll be leaving Hunter Vision to start med school soon, but we are treasuring every moment we get to have her until then. Hopefully, she becomes an ophthalmologist and comes back to Hunter Vision. Fingers crossed.

Vanessa has the distinction of being the only human on earth to have never dropped the ball on any issue. Ever. It’s remarkable. We’d assume she must be a robot, but she’s far too warm and friendly for that to be true.

Markens has more positive qualities than it would be possible to list with the stringent word count policy for this card. So here are two of them: he’s so easygoing that it’s nearly impossible to be stressed around him, and also, he is stronger than any 10 men. Like a superhero.

Bonnie helps to run the OR and the clinic. That’s because she carries competence in such abundance that it pours into those around her. A rising tide raises all ships, and this saying describes what it feels like to have Bonnie on any team.

Josh creates order wherever he goes. As light is to darkness, so Josh is to entropy. He orchestrates systems that allow people to achieve more in teams, and teams to achieve more within their corporations. We are all happy and our best with him as the captain of the ship.

Sani knows glasses at a level that I didn’t know existed. He exists on a plain of consciousness mindful of every interconnected facet involved in creating perfect optics. He also knows a lot about UFC fighters.

If Angelia were to ever run into a grizzly bear in the woods, she would only need to smile at it for it to instantly stop growling, apologize, and then ask if it could help her find her way safely home. There are people so kind they elevate the nature of all those around; Angelia is one of them.

Erika found Hunter Vision through a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. We’re so glad she went on that trip, because after helping dozens of people during that project, she’s gone on to help thousands more since then. She is funny and fun and smart as a whip.

Kate is a master, no, the master of system building, lateral thinking, and pure iron will. Problems run and hide in fear of her because she only need hear about them and they cease to exist. She consistently accomplishes more in less time than would seem possible. And through it all, she is wonderfully fun and laughs more than just about anyone I know.

Dawn has the twin gifts of a pure heart and a steady calm. She makes the OR feel more like a sanctuary. Or a peaceful country picnic. It’s hard to describe what it is like to be around someone with such a peace about them, but luckily, you don’t need to describe it to enjoy it. She’s kind of like a sunrise in that way.

Jamie is oftentimes the first person people see when they come to Hunter Vision. And that’s good because it means they’ll see a genuine smile. What they won’t see are the hundred details she’s managing at any given moment, because Jamie handles them all with a grace and ease that flow from the same source of her smile. She is happiest when helping people, so she’s pretty much always happy.
