Ray went to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. In 1970 after graduating from Ga-ringer High School, Ray went to work. College was not even a thought.

In 1971, shortly after graduating, he started his lifelong career in the construction industry. From on-sight helper all the way to superintendent, he worked his way to the top of any job he was a part of. Contractor, remodeler, consultant, designer, inventor, architect, teacher, mentor, educator, commentator, radio host…. these are all “hats” that Ray has worn for more than 54 years.
His wide range of knowledge, and hands on experience, and his “gift for sharing” through education and information has been valuable too many in the Charlotte Metro area. For over 32 years, he has shared what he knows and who he knows every Saturday morning on radio air waves as host of About Your House now airing on Fox Sports Charlotte, Podcastradiocarolinas.com, Streaming on FaceBook Live every Saturday morning 8-11am.

Also, providing many great career pathways for stu-dents that can provide them with a future full of Happiness and Purpose not to mention, no college debt. College is not for everyone, nor should it be. Let’s Put Tools in Schools.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS:
Layla Bluefort, MSW is an alumna of Johnson C. Smith University and the University of South Carolina. She is the mom of 3 adult daughters. She is known by many as Ms. “Momma I don’t want to go to College”! She is very vocal about her biggest regret as a mom was that she only exposed her daughters to 4-year Universities while they were growing up. In her household the rule was get good grades and go to a College because that is how society determined that she did a good job as a mother. She’s now using her platform to show the importance of parents exposing their children to every Post-graduate opportunity regardless of their grades. She is now the Proud mother of a “College Drop Out”!
Lauryn Bluefort is a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator who is also completing a LPN Apprenticeship with Road to Hire/Gaston College. Lauryn is a 2016 Charlotte Mecklenburg School (CMS) graduate. She graduated with a 3.6 GPA and enrolled at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Growing up she was the perfect student (never misbehaved and got good grades) so every adult told her that she was supposed to go to college. During her college tenure she found herself failing classes and struggling mentally because she knew she did not want to be there but she was unaware of other options. She would eventually drop out and find another path.
