Ray Schall's story begins with a typical childhood in Sarasota, Florida, filled with swimming and fishing adventures. After high school, he served six years in the United States Army, which helped fund his college education. Ray then embarked on a successful career as an Electrical Engineer, designing microprocessors and control systems for a German company. His work took him around the globe, but when the company was sold and relocated to Mexico, Ray chose to retire rather than move.
It was during this period of upheaval that Ray's struggle with alcohol addiction began. For years, Ray battled his addiction, experiencing periods of sobriety followed by relapses.

Today, as the director of intake and registration at Narconon Suncoast, Ray dedicates his life to helping others overcome their addictions.
