"I live a Carnival life, complete with all of the highs and lows. Im lucky in that I get to travel and fish and photograph my favorite bands in concert...Im truly blessed. Ive always identified with Jimmy Buffett's music and I kinda backed into living my life like a song. Much to the eternal consternation of my family. But I would not trade the view you have at sunrise when you head down the Mississippi to catch Tuna out in the Gulf of Mexico or watching the morning mist rise off of a Connecticut Trout stream or when taking photographs from the "pit" at a concert. I wouldnt know what to do with myself in a nine to five job...ties make me feel like Im being choked by a really weak person. As Captain J.B. so eloquently put it...'Im growing older but not up...my metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck'...and away we go, adventure around every corner!!!"

Ray grew up in Memphis, hunting and fishing all over Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida. He credits his love of the outdoors to growing up  with family (Grandfathers R. C. Williams and Bill Huntzicker, Father Terry, Uncles Billy and Bob, Cousins Joe and Billy, Stepfather Barney) who "showed me the way".

His love affair with the Gulf, the Caribbean and mountain trout streams
continues. He also continues to travel and fish... having fun, looking for adventure and promoting fishing, especially along the Gulf Coast...
