I grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and spent most of my life there, except for my college years when I ventured out to Utah to hit the slopes and ski. I’m passionate about skiing, classic cars, jeeps, camping, hiking, and, most of all, spending quality time with my three amazing kids—my daughters, 16 and 14, and my son, who’s 9. Our family also includes a loyal German Shepherd and three lively cats.

My career journey started in the restaurant industry, where I spent 20 years as the Food and Beverage Director at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club. About a year and a half ago, I made the leap into the car business, and I haven’t looked back since. It’s been an incredible change, and I only wish I’d made the switch sooner—I absolutely love it!

I was born and raised in England, and moved to the US in 2020 to be with my wife. I previously worked in the travel and events industry in England and was lucky to travel a lot of Europe within my role. I joined the Automotive industry after relocating and I enjoy the business as I get to meet and talk to lots of new people from all walks of life! Outside of work I am living the Asheville dream, hiking with my wife and Fox Red Labrador, enjoying the local breweries this area has to offer and still keeping up with football (soccer) at the local bars. Come and see me so we can find the perfect vehicle for you!

I have 6 years of prior experience in sales. I sold bikes to people of all different walks of life. Afterward, I spent a large amount of time in the cycling industry Trail-Building.

I am a WNC native. I have a 9 year old son named Cayman and reside in Hendersonville.

I’m a proud Hendersonville native and have been part of the Hunter family for a while now. I started as a mechanic, but I always had an interest in sales. When the opportunity came to switch gears, I decided to go for it—and I’ve enjoyed every moment since!

In my free time, I still love working on cars and taking my Evo out for a drive whenever I can. Cars have always been a passion of mine, whether I’m under the hood or out on the road. I’m grateful to be in a role where I can share that enthusiasm with others every day!

Hi, I’m Josh Hensley from Morganton, NC. I’ve built my career around a passion for hands-on work and helping people, starting in the automotive world with several years at Advance Auto and Toyota. I later transitioned into the security industry with ADT, where I spent 8 years in sales and 9 years as a technician. Outside of work, I’m all about the outdoors—I enjoy car restorations, fishing, general aviation, hiking, camping, and building things. While I don’t currently have any pets, I’m a big dog lover and a family-oriented guy.

I grew up in Asheville and spent much of my childhood skateboarding and playing basketball. I moved to Hendersonville around the age of ten and have called it home ever since. I still enjoy shooting hoops whenever I can—and while I don’t skateboard as often these days, I still like to pick up the board now and then.

I’m originally from Virginia and love spending time outdoors — whether it’s snowboarding in the winter or hitting the golf course when it’s warm. When I’m not out adventuring, you can usually find me cooking or hanging out with my two dogs. Fun fact: I once spent seven months living in Big Sky, Montana, where I bartended and soaked up mountain life.

Hi, I’m MaryBeth, your Love Encore Specialist at Hunter Subaru! My goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable with your new Subaru by guiding you through the features, technology, and personalization options you’ll use every day.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my puppy, Nola, playing pickleball, and challenging myself with all kinds of puzzles.

I’m excited to help you discover everything your Subaru has to offer, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you get the most out of every drive. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Tony! I was born in Asheville but spent most of my childhood in Southwest Florida, though I made sure to visit Western North Carolina each year. In the 1990s, I made the move back to WNC and have been here ever since.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, especially my very active grandchildren. I enjoy being outdoors, cooking, and exploring all that the mountains have to offer. I’ve always had a passion for cars and closely follow the automobile industry.

I’m the proud father of three adult children and a grandpa to five wonderful grandchildren. I also have a yellow Lab named Gladys, who keeps me company on my adventures!

Growing up in a third-generation agricultural family instilled a strong work ethic in me, and while I retired from a career in culinary arts, my focus has always been on providing exceptional customer service and sales. I’m proud to bring those skills to my work here, where I continue to help people in meaningful ways.
