Our Team

Nan Nunan | Board Member

Nan is an integral part of the Hero-Hunts team. As the event coordinator, Nan is in charge of what are often some of our largest and most popular events.  She does everything from contacting vendors, coordinating volunteers and hiring talent to perform. Nan’s background in event planning comes from her time working with Harvest Ridge Winery/Rebel Seed Cider.   She spends her free time with her husband Craig, their children Hunter, Hailey, and Lincoln. She also enjoys reading (when time permits), warm weather, and loves anything related to Disney.

 

Chuck Nunan | Board President

While on the surface Chuck oversees many aspects of HHF, he really sees his job as being a visionary who plans and dreams big, then supports his team by helping each member reach their God-given potential, while staying out of their way and letting them do their jobs.

His dream is to create a family farm winery that can be a vehicle to allow future generations to know what it means to work, get dirty, and feel good about it. Check out what he’s up to at Harvest Ridge Winery.

For Fun: Chuck enjoys spending time with his family — immediate and extended, and friends. He has a passion for home-cooked meals, wine making, coffee in the morning, enjoying a good wine, and helping others (not necessarily in that order).

His late wife Chris, was the matriarch of the Nunan family. Her artistic eye lent insight to the design and other creative aspects of the family businesses. She was one of the happiest people we know, loving and supportive of her family’s adventures.  Chris’ passing has left behind a legacy of kindness and a giving heart that we as a charity will continue in her honor.
