Donte was born in Bermuda in 1977 and is the second son of Allan and Mildred Hunt. He was schooled at Francis Patton, the Berkeley Institute, Bermuda College and North Carolina State University where he earned a BA in Business Administration. After he was married, Donte and his wife attended Tyndale College and Seminary in Toronto, Ontario where they studied Post Graduate Theology.

Donte has worked in the banking and finance industry for over 10 years. He currently owns his own business, where he utilises his background in management and finances as a savvy restaurateur.

Donte is passionate about family. He believes that the strength and ultimately the success of a nation is rooted in the strength and the health of families. He strongly feels that all aspects of family life (parenting, relationship development / management etc.) deserve the highest level of support, nurturing, celebration and encouragement by both the community and the government. When the time is right, Donte and his wife intend to realise their dream of using the knowledge gained from their Seminary studies and their passion to serve others by endeavoring on missionary adventures.

Donte is the father of two young daughters. He finds his greatest joy and fulfillment spending time with his wife Kelly and their two young daughters, Annalise and Laylah. Currently Donte volunteers as a Sunday School Teacher at Holy Trinity in Hamilton Parish. He has also served as the National Director of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, where he was responsible for raising the Award’s profile, increasing participation and raising funds. In 1998, Donte’s passion for helping others saw him head to Uganda for 3 months with Operation Raleigh. During his time in Uganda, Donte helped to build medical centres on Mount Elgon and assisted the Ministry of Tourism with constructing a bird hide (a camouflaged bird observatory shelter) in the Queen Elizabeth National Park.

In 2007, Donte was elected as a representative for Constituency # 4, St Georges South.
