About the Trainer
Ray has a pretty laid-back personality, but that does not mean he is not passionate about self defense training.
After retiring with over 35 years of federal law enforcement experience and continued work in the private security sector, there is not much that Ray has not seen or dealt with.
His goal is to always keep training and educating himself and to share his experience with others.
Ray's training philosophy is based on the experience he has had in training with numerous martial arts, defensive tactics systems, and all types of instructors. In his training, as precision and control are mastered, speed and intensity will follow, because if you can't execute moves slowly, you certainly can't do it fast. This approach also helps to be protected from injury to one self and others.
Although self defense training has a physical component, fitness is not the objective. Ray is a practitioner of Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Kali Irish Stick Fighting, and a certified instructor in CrossFit, weight lifting, and track and field, but his belief is to let more experienced fitness instructors teach these.
If you are looking for firearms training, Ray is one of the best instructors around. He has been handling firearms for over 50 years, whether it be competitive police pistol, law enforcement, hunting, or as police firearms instructor.
Trinity Martial Arts & Krav Maga is proud to be an affiliate of Israeli Krav Maga Association which is headed by the US Representative, David Kahn. David is the premier instructor as well as author of numerous books on Krav Maga.
In his free time, Ray likes to ride his Harley Davidson Mortorcycle, or his boat on Lake Hopatcong. He also covers the air by owning a private pilot license. Lastly, he is the owner of a German Shepherd, named Kelly.
