#9 - Joey Hunter (former Co-President & Owner of Ford Models)

As the former Co-President and owner of Ford Models, Joey
Hunter has lived an incredible life with a career to
match in the modeling and talent industry. Getting his start as a
model in the 1960's, Joey was soon discovered by Jerry Ford
(founder of Ford Models) and his modeling career
began to take off. Though he wasn't able to break through in the
film industry as well as he was in the modeling world; Joey
eventually pivoted to become head booker of the Men's Division
for Ford Models, and later the Co-President of the company. Joey
was also involved in overseeing the women's division and helped
represent some of the most sought after models in the world,
including Brooke Shields, Elle MacPherson, and Naomi
Campbell to name a few. This is about the time that Joey
and Jerry coined the term "Supermodel" and began to build the
brands of the soon to be mega stars.
