At 67 years old, I am the proud owner of A Surfers World L.L.C., a renowned surf shop located in the Long Beach/Lido Beach area of New York (zipcode 11561). With half a century of experience in teaching surfing, I've dedicated my life to sharing the joy and thrill of riding the waves with others. My passion and expertise have been recognized through prestigious honors, including induction into the Duke Kahanamoku Invitational reunion and participation in the U.S. Open. As a testament to my commitment to the surfing community, my surf shop stands as a beacon for enthusiasts.

Hi, I'm Ray! I picked up the guitar and piano when I was just 15, and now I have over 40 years of experience with these instruments. Teaching has been a big part of my journey, and I've been mentoring aspiring musicians for more than 30 years. On top of that, I've been performing live for three decades. Let's strum, play, and create music together!

"I really love his teaching.I learn so much about guitar. I'm studying Jazz guitar. He is true master of the instrument. He is consistent and the material he teaches it's like studying at a University. Everything about music and the guitar is at his hand. I consider him to be the best guitar teacher. He is also a great player. His love for Jazz is awesome. But he can play other music genres as well. God has blessed him.
