A Marshall County soccer player from 1990-1995, Ray was All-District and All-Region in 1992 and 1994. He was named first team All-State his senior year in 1994.

Continuing his soccer career at the University of Evansville, Ray was a member of the 1996 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship team that reached the NCAA Tournament.  He played defender and forward, and was an MVC Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week during his career.  Ray received UE's Ian Coull Award in 1999 for competitive spirit and teamwork, and was on the NSCAA Scholar-Athlete all-region team.

After playing professionally for the A-League Nashville Metros in 2001, Ray spent four years at Drury University.  He became the youngest Division I head coach in the country in 2003 at age 25 after two years as Drury’s assistant coach.
Ray spent the 2005 season involved with recruiting, player development and day-to-day operations for the Duke Blue Devils, who won the ACC Tournament and were nationally ranked that year.

Ray returned to UE when Mike Jacobs made the move from Duke assistant to UE’s head coach in 2006, and made Ray his first choice for assistant coach. 

Ray holds a USSF A license and studied under Pierre Barrieu, U.S. National Fitness Coach, to obtain a USSF National Fitness Level I license.  He holds an NSCAA Advanced National License.  Ray serves as Midwest Regional Chair for the NSCAA/Performance Subaru Division I All-America Committee, and as a coach led FC Evansville to IYSA state championships in 2009 and 2010.
