Heritage Hill

Ray was born in November of 1963 and spent his formative years in the foothills of Southeast Idaho. He grew up under the influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (Mormon) and attended Ricks Jr. College, now BYU Idaho. Shortly after leaving college he met the beautiful Char Deal a Nazarene pastor’s daughter and proceeded to sweep her off her feet. The two eloped in 1984. They have four adult children: Brooke, Brandon (who is married to Miquela and has Ray and Char’s first grandchild, Brayson) , Brittany, and Bradley. Starting each kids name with BR was Char’s idea.

Ray is a car guy and usually has a project or two going at the same time. He also loves to sit by his backyard fire pit enjoying friends. Ray is working towards several honorary graduate and postgraduate degrees from Mid-America Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary, and The Petty online Bible School and Tire Center.
