Ray is from Chino, (Southern) California. He served 8 years active duty as a Combat Engineer in the United States Marine Corps (2009-2017). He has been attending school at Windward Community College since he retired and is working towards attaining a degree in Global Environmental Science at University of Hawaii at Manoa. His research and focus is on synthetic marine debris and how to efficiently and effectively remove it from our shores. He has engineered a device that separates shoreline marine debris from beach sand through buoyancy. He then further discovered and created a process to separate the natural and synthetic buoyant debris that is captured by his device. Through this process a smaller size assessment can be done to analyze marine debris accumulation for microplastic samples smaller than 63 microns. pository Program.

He is Vice Chairman for the Surfrider Oahu Foundation and is passionate about giving back to the community and helping educate others. He hopes to educate people on the harm plastic is causing to our environment and ecosystem by providing them with a means to remove and separate the debris along with a deeper understanding on the harms we are causing by giving them something tangible to relate to.
