CJ Hunt, Broadcast Journalist

Producer and Host with over twenty-years in broadcasting, voice overs, television, live events, and is the author of two books on diet and health. The documentary evolved from his true-life story, beginning in 1978 when paramedics brought Mr. Hunt back to life at the age of 24 after a cardiac arrest while jogging. This incident evoked an intense passion to find out how we can all achieve longer, healthier and happier lives and then share that with others.

In addition to executive producing and hosting the documentary, for 3 1/2 years Mr. Hunt also hosted a 30-minute weekly political roundup show for the City and County of San Francisco, “San Francisco Legislative Outlook,” on SFGTV (a city cable channel).
