Ray was born and raised in Hawaii where he enjoyed travelling to different islands, and eventually California, via the "Interstate" highways. He left Hawaii for California to attend Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo where he majored in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems. He currently resides in the San Gabriel Valley and is oblivious to what goes on in the west side. In his off time, Ray is a car enthusiast and hopes to get into autocross and tracking. He also enjoys boxing, pool, trying new restaurants, and just kicking back at Starbucks or a "boba" store.
