Some things you don’t know about me…

Who is Jon Ray?

I’m really tired of feeling like I’m censoring myself on this blog. I feel like the reason that I write three posts and then take a month off is that, like I’ve said before, I’m not writing what I want to write; I’m writing what I think people want to hear. Well, that game is over, because like it or not, social media is not the only thing I’m interested in. I started writing about it because it was a fun buzz word and I use many different forms of social media in my everyday life. But, that is just a delivery tool to get the message out about the things I’m really interested in.

Over the past five years I have been the Marketing Manager of a series of health clubs, gotten my real estate license and acted as a Realtor, handled the marketing for a series of apartment complexes in Austin and an apartment locating firm. Since starting my own company I have acted as a music video, short film, documentary and commercial producer and writer. I am actively seeking work as an actor and have starred in a 14-episode national campaign for Toyota, hosted MTV’s TRL, been on MTV’s Room Raiders, been in a promo spot for the MTV Movie Awards, starred in six short films, one feature film and am now shooting a web series that I was cast in, which is being scouted by FOX. Of course, most recently, I have acted as a social media consultant for companies large and small. And my future plans consist of shopping a book that I hope to finish writing by the end of April.

Am I saying all of this because I want you guys to be impressed? Not at all. I’m just saying that there’s a lot more going around in my brain than social media and from now on this blog is going to reflect that. I know. I know. I keep promising to let you guys in on the rest of my life and thus far, I have failed miserably at even letting you in on the slightest part of it. But, this time is for real.

So, stay tuned and hold on, because as you’ll learn, I like to work hard, but I party even harder. If you’re uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the inner workings of a 24-year old trying to find himself, then you might be shocked or surprised. But, if you’re along for the ride, then let’s grab a drink and get started!

P.S. I’ve failed miserably at putting together my own web show. I really just don’t have the time or patience for it. But, what I do love to do is talk and hear my own voice. If you have a web show, big or small, I’d love to be on it. I’ve gotten several emails this week of people saying they couldn’t find guests for their show. Well, here you go! If you’ve got a web show, get in contact with me and I promise I will be more than happy to come on and talk about anything, even if I know nothing about it. Think about it…could be fun. ;)
