About

Ray Tye knows what it's like to lose trust—and what it takes to rebuild it. Life changes us, sometimes gently, sometimes by force. When trust fractures—between family or friends, coworkers or communities—reconciliation calls us to move beyond blame to repair the relationship without surrendering our independence or erasing the past.

He writes about resilience, healing, and the possibility of second chances—not from theory, but from the hard-won wisdom of someone who's lived it.

Ray is a retired Marine officer who served both as an enlisted Marine and as a commissioned officer (a "Mustang"). He holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from Texas State University.

When he’s not writing, Ray loves good coffee, fly fishing, and motorcycles. He’s on his 16th bike, and has logged over a million miles riding across the US.

He lives in Plano, Texas, with his wife Sally, three cats named The Dude, Dinky, and Monster, and an Anatolian Shepherd named Darcy. Visit him on Substack @raytye.
