"Hunter consistently proved himself one of the top-performing sales professionals in the organization, year after year. What sets him apart is his exceptional product knowledge, professionalism, and ability to connect — he builds trust quickly and creates an outstanding experience throughout the sales process."

Rick Santiago · McClain's RV · LinkedIn Recommendation

"Hunter is one of the most honest, loyal, and hard-working people I have met. He walks up to customers, knows them by name, and asks about something they previously brought up. When customers walk away from visiting with Hunter, he either made a sale or a contact that will reach out to him first-hand again. Any organization should consider themselves lucky to work with you."

Your Direct Leader

Hunter Pruett —Built to Serve. Born to Lead.

Before anything else, I am a father. That truth drives everything — every family I protect, every agent I develop, every standard I hold without compromise.

Service isn't a strategy for me — it's my inheritance. My father gave 23 years to the military and served as a firefighter; my mother was raised in a family of hard-working dairy farmers who understood that dignity is built long before sunrise. I've carried a union card myself in more than one trade. So when I sit across from a working family, I'm not selling to them — I'm one of them.

My career was forged across high-stakes, high-performance environments: 6+ years leading sales at McClain's RV Superstores — the largest RV dealership in Texas — where I earned 3× Salesman of the Year and 18× Salesman of the Month, ranked nationally as a top producer for Grand Design and Winnebago, and led BDC operations. I've also counseled families through foreclosure as a Regional Client Manager, guided homebuyers through modular housing, and led commercial roofing sales across multiple states for a Top 100 contractor. Across every industry, one truth proved itself: genuine service — the kind that puts people first, always — is the only sustainable edge.

When I discovered Globe Life American Income Division and Surace Smith & Partners, everything aligned. A career where your integrity, your work ethic, and your commitment to others are the only currency that matters. Make work your ministry. That's not a tagline. That's how I lead.

My faith shapes every interaction. My track record proves what's possible. My standard has never wavered: leave every single person better than I found them.

The Backbone of America

We Serve Those Who Serve Us.

From the founding of American Income Life in 1951, the mission has never changed: protect the working families of America — especially those who put their lives on the line so the rest of us can sleep at night. This is not just business. This is a calling.

"I remain convinced that the American free enterprise system needs the labor movement to guarantee democracy on the job and fairness to workers. I am proud of the labor movement, and I am proud of my relationship with it. It's great to do well by doing good."

Veterans & Their Families

Those who served our country in uniform sacrificed everything. Our coverage ensures that sacrifice is never compounded by financial insecurity. We are honored to serve the VFW and veteran community with the same commitment they showed us.

First Responders & Emergency Personnel

Police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMTs face mortal risk as part of their daily routine. The least we can do is make sure their families are covered. Our union-backed benefits programs were built for exactly these members.

Teachers, Nurses & Public Servants

The educators who shape our children and the healthcare workers who heal our sick are the quiet heroes of every community. AIL's partnerships with the AFT, NNU, and AFSCME ensure they receive the benefits they've always deserved.

When the labor movement — the backbone of this nation — entrusts a company with protecting its members, that is not a marketing claim. That is a seven-decade track record of showing up, paying out, and never wavering.

When the Teamsters, the AFL-CIO, the VFW, the IAFF, the IUPA, and the AFT all say "this is the company we trust to protect our members" — that is not coincidence. That is 75 years of integrity, paid claims, and relentless commitment to the working families who make this country run.

When life's unpredictable moments happen — injuries, hospital visits, accidents — a check goes to your family, not a bill from your insurer. Fast, simple, and designed for real life.

Four powerful built-in features rarely offered outside of union-negotiated group plans — each designed to protect your family's financial security when it matters most.

No credit check, no application, no phone call needed
Preserves coverage for your family during life's most difficult moments
Exclusive Rider

How High Are You Willing to Climb?

This Is Not an MLM. This Is a Career.

Let's address it directly. What we do is not a pyramid scheme, a multi-level marketing company, or a "sign-up-and-recruit" operation. It is a merit-based, performance-driven career track inside one of the largest and most respected insurance organizations in North America.

What We Are NOT

Not a Pyramid Scheme

  • Zero financial investment required — we only ask that you invest in your own growth
  • You are not required to recruit to earn — production alone is a full career
  • Your income does not depend on others failing or paying in
  • No saturation ceiling — new territories, new markets, always expanding
  • No product inventory, no personal sales quotas to "move units"
  • No one above you profits from your failure — leaders earn more by developing winners
What We Actually Are

A Merit-Based Career System

  • State-licensed insurance professionals — real credentials, real career
  • Every rung of the career ladder is open to you — based purely on results
  • Leaders earn more when the agents they develop win — everyone equally incentivized
  • Free warm leads provided — no cold calling, no prospecting costs
  • $150 license discount, full training, daily coaching — your only investment is your own growth
  • Backed by a NYSE-listed, S&P 500 company — not a startup, not a side hustle

The Career Track — Every Rung Is Yours to Climb

Transparent. Merit-based. No ceiling. The Hunter Team has leaders at every level ready to develop you toward the next one.

We lead with faith, serve with purpose, and develop the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord."

Faith-Driven PurposeLeaders actively invested in ministries, charities, and community organizations

Tithing & Giving BackGood stewardship is a core value — what's earned is shared with purpose and gratitude
Constant GrowthThe building process never stops — you just learn to do it better, faster, and stronger
#MakeTomorrowBetter

Good Stewardship Is Who We Are.

From the founding of American Income Life, giving back has been woven into the DNA of this organization. For us, it's not a PR strategy — it's a biblical conviction. What you earn should serve a purpose larger than yourself.

Feed the City

When our agents visit communities and attend conventions, we partner with local food banks through the Feed the City initiative — collecting non-perishable food donations and hands-on volunteer hours. Each holiday season, our offices collect toys for children in need.

Drilling Wells in Africa

Through the Closer to the Heart program, members of our organization have contributed to drilling clean water wells in Africa — providing clean water to communities where access to it changes everything. Stewardship with eternal impact.

Child Safe Kit Program

Our Child Safe Kit — endorsed by the IUPA and AFT — is one of the most important initiatives we run. Every kit distributed is a child better protected. This is personal mission work that happens because of the resources this business provides.

Make Tomorrow Better

Globe Life's Make Tomorrow Better program challenges agency owners to raise funds for local charities at national conventions — turning company events into community impact moments. Thousands given directly to children's healthcare and community development.

Closer to the Heart

Torchmark / Globe Life's long-term humanitarian initiative — providing hands-on and financial support to communities where our associates live, work, and visit. From Arizona backpack food programs to minority entrepreneurship funding.

Faith-Based Tithing

Good stewardship is a core value of The Hunter Team. We tithe because we believe what we earn is a trust, not a trophy. A portion of every harvest belongs to something larger than ourselves — always.

We Build Riches to Change the World.

Jim Surace said it best: "This position has allowed me to fulfill a purpose greater than myself and given me an income that will extend to impact generations. It's an amazing position of influence where you build riches while changing the world through impacting and improving lives."

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap."

— Luke 6:38

Family First. Always.

The Hunter Team was built because every family deserves to be found, protected, and left better than we found them. That's the standard — in every virtual meeting, every consultation, and every conversation.

Whether you're a working parent who needs peace of mind, or a driven professional who needs a career without a ceiling — this is where both paths lead.

Work From Anywhere100% virtual freedom — build your life and career around what actually matters to you
Make Work Your MinistryEvery family protected is a legacy secured — this career has an impact that outlasts the commission
Leave Families BetterOur consultative, zero-pressure approach ensures every family walks away more secure than when we found them
"The greatest gift you will ever give your family is not money — it is the certainty that if the unthinkable happens, they will be okay. That is what I hunt for every single day. Not commissions. Not accolades. The quiet, unshakeable knowledge that every family I touch will face tomorrow with one less fear, one more reason to believe, and someone in their corner who will never stop fighting for them. That is the mission. That is the ministry. That is why we do this."
