About

Troy Duhon is the President/CEO of Premier Automotive Group which consists of thirty dealerships across the United States. Troy serves on the Board of Giving HOPE. He is the CEO of God’s Not Dead Media Group which produced God’s Not Dead I, II, and III, Do You Believe?, The Blind and other films.

Giving HOPE was established in October 2013 with the opening of the Food Pantry of New Orleans. The Food Pantry supplies 200,000 hot meals and gives away almost 8,000,000 pounds of groceries each year to seniors and food insecure families of the New Orleans, Kansas City and California areas. They also partner with the New Orleans Mission on the Giving Hope Retreat Center-a sixty (60) acre rehab facility that helps people with addictions that have been emotionally, physically, and sexually abused.

Through the adoption of their daughter, Annahstasia, Troy saw the need for better living conditions in overseas orphanages. With the vision to build orphanages, as of 2024, Hope House Orphanages have been built in India, Honduras, Gambia, Russia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, South Africa and the Philippines. Giving HOPE also opened a trauma center in Kiev, Ukraine, in 2023 to help women and children who lost their husbands and fathers in the war. Please visit www.GivingHOPEnola.org to learn more about the vision of Giving HOPE.

Troy is blessed to have four (4) beautiful children, Joshua, Abigail, Avah Hope and Annah Grace. His family believes in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ and has established his life and family through God's word.
