PRESIDENT / DIGITAL STRATEGIST

Ray has lived in the great State of Texas his whole life but was born in Mexico (Coahuila). He considers himself a proud “Texican.” He grew up in Eagle Pass (TX) and attended college at Southwest Texas State University (aka Texas State) in San Marcos (TX). After graduation, Ray moved to the Live Music Capital of the World - Austin, Texas. Soon after relocating to Austin, he found his love for film and jumped into the film community with both feet. As a working actor, Ray has done various film, commercial, radio and some theater work. It’s been a great ride with more to come. 

Ray joining the GTX Film team in early 2022 was a no-brainer. He is ready to help showcase great film projects and help the film community in any way possible. He is excited about adding to the Arts & Culture vibe in the City of Georgetown and surrounding areas. It’s time we get film projects back on the map.

Ray is married to his beautiful wife, Amy, and they have 3 wonderful fur-babies:  Zoe, Luna and Dottie.
