Born in Singapore, Ray left the island nation and spent a decade immersing himself in Melbourne's coffee culture. Fate would have none of that, and whisked him to Japan to fulfill his childhood dream of piloting an Evangelion unit.

He is always on the lookout for all things unique and exciting. Luckily for him, Japan is never short on those.
