As the co-developer of CyclingPeaks Software, he set out to try to create 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: 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 says, "I believe that we are human beings working closely with other human beings, and it's important that as a coach, I develop a realistic plan that works in your life. I work hard to help you to improve and hone your skills as an athlete."
