Some of Chad Hunter's fondest memories of childhood involve sitting at a table with his grandfather and drawing. Not drawing as one typically does as a kid, but drawing house and building plans.
"My grandfather owned a construction company and designed his own buildings," Hunter said. "So, I would sit next to him — on the table, actually — and draw with him. That ended up morphing into me helping my dad design some of his restaurants that he ran."
