About

Ray, if you haven’t already figured out is a pen name. Why Ray? Rays are how I teach and think. One of the dictionary definitions of “ray” is a small snippet of positive information. I also chose a pen name because everything I post will be in the strictest of confidence as I will always change the names of parties I discuss.

Who am I really? I have a Ph.D. in engineering and life. I have learned much in life because I have made many a mistake.  I have been divorced and flunked courses in high school to name a few.  My goal is to learn from mistakes and improve.  I am married to a wonderful lady and I am a father to my children.

I got into coaching mostly by happenstance.  I was always the one at work or school who people would come to see me to discuss their deepest problems.  I respect people’s trust as I hold trust as one of the most valuables things in life.  It occurred to me I should coach based on the suggestion of friends who have thanked me for being their personal life coach and mentor.

I believe that life is a journey: not a destination.  I also believe that our success in life is part choices and part luck.  As a coach, I try to make sure my clients do the things that put the odds in their favor to live a more fulfilled and successful life.
