I may be new to publishing, but I'm certainly an old hand at opinionated commentary, regardless of subject matter. My ever spinning, curious little Gemini brain is constantly jumping from one subject, issue or project to the next. While I certainly love passionate debate, I won't just sit and rattle in one's ear for an entire day, not my style. I like to sit alone and research whatever my topic du jour may be, then I'll come at you with a quick jab/punch, hit and run. Then, poof!, like a ninja I leave you wondering where I'll strike next!

I am currently employed full-time as a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Memphis Fire Department and I am proud member of the Memphis Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 1784. To summarize, my job gives me an overflow of subject matter for debate 24 hours a day, which just happens to equal one shift day. And I assure you, the politicians in Memphis city government could give New Orleans' best a real run for their money, or ours rather. I am also co-host and creator of The Rick Ray Show with KMart and Angel, sports talk radio on AM 730 Vernoradio, Memphis, TN. We air weekly on Tuesdays from 7:00 pm-9:00pm. You can listen live by going to therickrayshow.com and clicking the ListenLive link or click on Archives to check out all our previous shows.

Prior to the fire department and EMS, I worked in the gaming industry for 10+ years as a craps dealer and table games floor supervisor. By far my favorite employer being Jack Binion's Horseshoe Casino Tunica, MS, which was also my longest tenured. Doesn't matter if you're talking public services or corporate America, they all need to learn the Jack Binion recipe for success. Best employer for which I've ever worked, and I'm only one of thousands that would agree. He knew how to foster loyalty in his employees and he rewarded for it generously.

Ok, so that's me in too many and not enough words. Hope I can give you a reason to come back for another "hit and run".
