About Me

Ray standing behind his latheBorn and raised in Hanover County, I graduated from Patrick Henry High School and entered the workforce in the printing industry. Printing is a great trade and is one that my father worked in all of his life. It wasn't long before I realized that it wasn't what I was meant to pursue for life. Today, as a homebuilder for R-CI Builders, I am privileged to be a part of people's dreams of building their own homes.

I have been married for just over 25 years (I am the guy that met his wife at the grocery store — well, in the parking lot at least), and we have a daughter who is very talented and on her way to doing terrific things. She will definitely have a positive impact in this world.

I have always had a fascination with wood and all things made of wood. I have been a woodworker since the early 90's. Then I discovered turning … woodturning is an addiction that is difficult to fight, so its best not to fight it. The fact that you can take a natural resource and watch it take its own shape has always intrigued me. Whether it is a functional piece or not, woodturnings are made to be admired. I hope you enjoy this website and my work.

I am thankful for forgiveness through Christ Jesus, and may God bless you.    Ray
