David Hunter

CEO

David Hunter stands at the helm of two influential companies - Local Falcon and Epic Web Studios - where he drives innovation in digital marketing and local search engine optimization. With a career spanning over 15 years, he has reshaped how businesses understand and engage with their online presence, particularly in the world of local SEO.

David's career began at Fordham University in New York City, but it was his return to Erie, Pennsylvania, that set the stage for his entrepreneurial path. After completing his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Mercyhurst University and a brief stint in financial services at Merrill Lynch, he began exploring new opportunities. During this time, he recognized a gap in forward-thinking digital services around the Great Lakes. Traditional agencies were clinging to outdated methods, and businesses were left puzzled by how to manage their web presence and online rankings. Today, Epic Web Studios boasts a team of 15 full-time employees and serves more than 500 clients nationwide, all from its base in Erie.
