Our Team

Hunter Lankford is President of SouthernStone Cabinets and Managing Member of SunCoast Cabinet Supplies. First and foremost, though he is a husband, father and Parrot Head.

After spending 25 years with a Fortune 100 company managing contract sales in the state of Florida, he and Julie decided it was time to get back to their roots. After much consideration and time spent to find the right fit they were introduced to their new Florida families. Longevity in the business and long tenured teams at both businesses is what drew them to SouthernStone Cabinets and SunCoast Cabinet Supplies. Hunter holds a Business Administration degree from Elon University.
