About Ray

  • Everyone asks, “Do you have a life”? You decide about me! I have lived in Illinois for over 26 years, in Indiana for over 26 years, Florida for 9 years and Texas for four years! I returned home where I was raised, living 12 miles from St Louis, MO, in Fairview Heights, IL, with my daughter. We enjoy watching movies together and cooking! I love the outdoors enjoying fishing, gardening, hunting and hiking. I have been known to be a fair shot with a bow as I reached the number one spot as a National Field Archery Association (NFAA) Professional Limited (using fingers to pull the string back), Male division Archer.

    Traveling is my most favorite activity, although. I have been in all 50 states and D.C. I have also been able to place my feet in a few countries (15) getting to know the culture, people, business economies and the beautiful landscapes! Let’s meet sometime for coffee and I will probably talk non-stop of stories visiting such countries in western Europe and Russia, Ukraine and a few others.
