We are pleased to welcome Kanan Hooker, Kunzman & Associates’ newest Sales Rep, who covers Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Kanan started in the automotive industry at a young age; as a third-generation stuntman in the entertainment industry, he performed stunts in vehicles ranging from go-karts to NASCAR. At age 24, he joined the infamous Hoonigan Industries crew working on all genres of automotive builds, such as Big Wheel drag cars, Halo: Warthog one off creations, Duramax powered 5th gen Camaro land speed car, Honda Ridgeline Indy-truck, and numerous more. Kanan participated in many race events starting with motocross and go-kart circuits and eventually moved into road racing his built ‘02 Mustang across California.

When he was 14 years old, Kanan purchased his first vehicle: a ’70 Chevrolet Nova featured in the movie Deathproof, and he rebuilt the motor from scratch. He still cherishes this car as a weekend driver, while continuing other weekend projects like his ’07 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited, ’56 Porsche Speedster, and ’95 Toyota Hiace HiTop camper van.

Kanan has over seven years of experience in the automotive industry including Hoonigan Industries (strategic partnerships, business development, sales, and marketing), and Ignition Speed Shop (business development consulting).
