Speaker Bio: Ray Brundege was born in Kettering, the United Kingdom. His father, a 26-year veteran of the Air Force, is from Mexico, Missouri. Ray's mother is now a very proud naturalized citizen, originally from Corby, England. He comes from a military tradition on both sides, which influenced Ray to begin his military career, serving for over 20 years in the Army. His grandparents also nurtured his passion for studying history, nature, and community service. After retiring from the military, Ray served as a park ranger for North Carolina State Parks and Tennessee State Parks, Anti-Terrorism Program Manager, and also worked as an Education Specialist for the National Park Service.
