Ray and Karen met in Karen’s hometown of Coronado in 1982, when Ray was assigned there for Navy flight training. They married in August 1983 and will celebrate their 43rd anniversary next month. Together, they raised their son and daughter in Temecula.

Karen was a full-time mother until both children reached high school. Drawing on her education in business and Oriental Medicine, she later became a successful entrepreneur and founded an esthetics company.

Ray spent 43 years flying jets for the United States Navy and American Airlines. During his career, he had the privilege of commanding a Navy squadron and serving as an airline captain, roles he valued for both responsibility and rewards.

Their son is an air traffic controller and lives in San Diego with his wife and their four children. Their daughter and son-in-law own Pacific Health Foods in Carpinteria, where they live with their three children.

Ray and Karen moved to Santa Barbara from Coronado nearly four years ago. They look forward to becoming part of the La Cumbre Country Club community, building new friendships, and continuing to enjoy all that Santa Barbara has to offer.
