Ray is a co-creator and founding member of the group The Classics. 
 
Although he has no formal training in music, he is self-taught on the guitar and has honed his singing abilities through years of "hanging-out" with most of the other members of The Classics (as well as other members of the Shooting Star family such as Sgt. Bob, Cody, Russ, and the Adams brothers) at Shooting Star karaoke shows and many singing and recording sessions in his basement. Ray also is The Classic's undisputed king of music trivia (despite what the other guys may tell you)!
 
Ray is an avid weightlifter and self-professed fitness nut - but you just may see him with a drink in his hand during a Classic's show!  He also is a dedicated father of two boys and practices Tae Kwan Do.  Ray also owns and manages the Boardman investment office of Capital Securities of America, Inc.

Ray also was a cast member of the CBS Emmy award winning show - The Amazing Race 7!
