Downtown Pizza

By Eric Hunter

Downtown Lynchburg is becoming the first area I choose to go to when going out to eat. It is exciting to continually see the new restaurants and shops coming to the area. On Wednesday, I ate out for lunch and tried Downtown Pizza, which is on Main Street next to Baby B’s.

Going in, you have Bob Marley playing, which gives you an automatic relaxed feeling. We ordered the pesto pizza, and it was the best I have had in a while. The crust is out standing. When complimenting them about how good it was, they mentioned that they put a lot of work into perfecting it.

In addition to the great whole pizzas you can get, they have lunch specials, which offer one or two slices and a drink for a very reasonable price.

For anyone wanting pizza, I recommend Downtown Pizza.

Eric with Hunter Financial Mentoring

Hunter Financial Mentoring was started by Eric Hunter. After graduating from the Virginia Military Institute with an Economics and Business degree and a Concentration in Financial Management, he went to work for one of the “Big Four” accounting firms.

With the heart of a teacher, and a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others, he knew there was something more out there. He would often ask: “Why do people spend their money on that?” and “Why do people not invest more of their money?” He decided to ask himself, “How could I make a difference?” With a constant nagging at his heart, he knew that there was something bigger out there for him, something that would help individuals, families, and future generations. He knew that he could make a difference by starting a mentoring company that focused on finances.

Once he came up with the idea of Hunter Financial Mentoring, Eric Hunter attended and completed Dave Ramsey’s Counselor Training. He has built this company on faith, and it will continue to prosper through the grace of God.

Hunter Financial Mentoring specializes in helping individuals and couples become financially organized by working with them on anything from budgeting and debt reduction to wealth building.

Hunter Financial Mentoring also offers a range of workshops that can be offered to companies, organizations, churches, and schools. They focus on changing our view towards personal finances and how to become better leaders. Through mentoring, workshops, and speaking engagements, Hunter Financial Mentoring is trying to change the way our society views personal finances.
