From Reedley to Rogue Fest - Jennifer Hunter

Check out Jennifer Hunter’s story that begins in Reedley and lands her here in the Fresno/Clovis area:

I originally moved to the Fresno/Clovis area in 1990, from Reedley. Coming from a small town, the change was very difficult, and to be honest, I didn’t think much of my new town for a very long time. That all changed several years ago when I went to my first Rogue Fest, and discovered the Tower District. There was so much to do and see! I had so much fun that I wanted to discover more. And I found that I could find fun things to do every single night if I wanted to. That was phase 1. Phase 2 came when one of my daughters got a job at Chukchansi Park. Since she doesn’t drive, I had to shuttle her to and from work frequently. And the more I was down there, the more history and gorgeous old architecture I saw and loved. And again, the more I saw, the more I wanted to discover. So I went on my own sightseeing tours, and learned the history behind the places I was seeing, and began to really fall for my adopted town. And the more I liked it, the more I wanted to tell other people about it. I want to tell people that there is a LOT to do in Fresno! I want to tell people not to be afraid to go downtown, day or night, because I’ve been down there at all hours, and I’ve NEVER, not once had anything bad happen to me. There is beauty and life and fun here. You just have to know where to find it.

Make sure to check out Rogue Festival yourself this coming February!

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
