Hunter Clouse was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. Hunter’s love for the practice of law began while attending Ozark Technical Community College (OTC) in Springfield, Missouri. While at OTC he joined, and subsequently became the first president of, a nonpartisan political organization known as Politically Active. The organization was dedicated to advancing political literacy in the local community. Hunter found a passion for being involved with his local community and continued to serve. While studying at Drury University he became a senator in Drury’s Student Government Association (SGA). While a Drury SGA senator, Hunter dedicated himself to ensuring his constituents were heard and represented at each meeting. Hunter’s passion for representing his community and his love for law led him to attend the University of Missouri School of Law in Columbia where he received his Juris Doctor. He also received an award in academic excellence in recognition of receiving the highest score in his Trial Practice course.
 
Outside of practicing law, Hunter enjoys drinking coffee, playing video games, watching movies and shows, and reading. Now that he has returned home to Springfield, Missouri Hunter is also actively looking for opportunities to be involved in his local community again.
