Hi, I’m Kyron D. Ray
First and foremost, a proud family man. My incredible wife, Christina, and I are blessed with two amazing sons, Levi and Justin. Born in Anchorage, Alaska, my journey has taken me across the country and beyond, only to bring me back to this beautiful state I call home.
Throughout my life, I’ve embraced many roles. I am a motivational speaker, business owner, and a dedicated member of the United States Air Force, serving as an Air Traffic Controller and Landing Zone Controller. My career has afforded me the opportunity to work in incredible places like the Middle East, Fairchild AFB in Washington, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, and even TDY’s in Guam and Tinian.
When I’m not serving or speaking, I find solace in the great outdoors. Whether I’m fishing, camping, or road-tripping with my family in our trailer, I thrive in rediscovering Alaska’s stunning landscapes. As a die-hard Edmonton Oilers fan, I make it a point to keep my passion for hockey alive wherever I go.

Why I Do What I Do

My goal is to share the lessons I’ve learned so that you can benefit from my journey and thrive in your own space. I deliver messages that resonate on a deeply personal level, inspiring action and connection.
Whether you’re a young professional, a seasoned leader, or a business looking to inspire your team, I’m here to help. Together, we can unlock potential, overcome challenges, and create a path to success that uplifts everyone around you.
