Ray was raised in Sicklerville, NJ and has spent his whole life living in South Jersey. He began attending church in Blackwood in 2010, where he met his wife, Leigha, before joining Kingsway in 2021. Over the years, Ray has served with various worship teams both inside and outside his home church, usually playing electric guitar or bass.
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Rowan University and has taught music to students of all ages through private lessons and classroom teaching. Alongside his love for music, Ray has always been drawn to the behind-the-scenes technical side of worship, live events, concerts, and production.
When he’s not playing or recording music, Ray can usually be found juggling way too many hobbies at once including gaming, hiking, watching movies and shows, learning random new skills, playing pickleball, and hanging out with his wife and their 2 chihuahuas.
