Ray founded the Atlanta MathPlus Group in 2008 as a systematic way to address the constant demands he was receiving from fellow professionals about helping at-risk youth in Metro and Greater Atlanta who didn’t have good male role models. After driving in some of the worst neighborhoods in Atlanta, he realized he needed more professionals and more role models; he proceeded to gave up his free time and resources to reach more youth, and have more professionals to assist. Four years into this journey, he co-founded WORLD YOUTH SERVED, INC. to aid in what is today his life’s mission and there you have it! Ray is a biotechnology executive by trade, a holder of a chemical engineering degree from his beloved Georgia Tech and a first-generation American from Haiti. Finally, since he helps in the shadows, under the cover of darkness, with his brains and his tools and his technology, he is… Batman.
