John Davis
Chief Executive Officer
John has been directly involved in the housing industry since 1993. A graduate of the University of Alabama, John brings immense experience and leadership to John Hunter Home Builders.
Professionally, John has started from scratch and built several successful businesses that employed hundreds of people. Additionally, he has acted in a Senior Leadership role in several other companies with extraordinarily positive results.

Personally, John is a committed family man with a strong Faith in God, following and supporting The University of Alabama athletic programs and a love for the outdoors. He has 3 wonderful children and a ranch where he spends time enjoying hunting, fishing, hosting outdoor ministry events, raising cattle and horses. John believes in Honesty and Integrity in all things and never shies away from carrying that forward in his communication with others.

Ray McKinney, CIC, Finance, Insurance and Real Estate Consultant
Ray McKinney, CIC
Finance & Insurance Consultant
Like John, Ray has been in and around various aspects of the housing business since 1974. His career path was somewhat different than Johns in that he worked in senior leadership in a public, vertically integrated Manufactured and Modular home company for 35 years where the territory he was responsible for was the western half of the United States. That transformed into a 4-year stent with a local Housing Company where he was blessed to learn an entire new set of skills related to housing, before embarking on a path of entrepreneurship.
Professionally, Ray owns an Insurance Agency that specializes in various personal lines including Manufactured Housing and small commercial insurance. Ray holds 7 different insurance licenses and an advanced insurance designation as a Certified Insurance Counselor. Ray also holds a Mortgage Loan Originators license and a Real Estate license, as well as manufactured housing sales and dealer’s licenses. He brings those skill sets and expertise to John Hunter Home Builders customers.
Personally, Ray and his wife of 40 years enjoy that same strong Faith in God and love of the outdoors that John and his family do. Ray has owned 2 different ranches locally in the past 15 years and currently fishes competitively on various bass fishing circuits and clubs.
