Additionally, as a contributor to a number of online outlets and platforms, including his rayhartjen.com site, he has spun his fair share of yarn on topics as far ranging as sports - primarily football, hockey and auto racing - and business, particularly revenue team functions like sales and marketing. Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March of 2019, Ray is a cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a 'y.' And with the soundtrack of life playing continuously in his head, Ray also performs and records with his two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres.
