Ray Cope

Tell me why you decided on your career.

I wouldn’t say it was ever a decision. I just found myself working for a mortgage company from a young age, and within time, I realized it was something I was good at and enjoyed at the same time. Before you know it, you’re a veteran.

What is your biggest success is professionally? Why?

Scotsman’s Guide in 2016 and I was in the President’s Club for four years in a row from 2014 – 2017.

What is a typical day like for you?

I wake up before dawn and make coffee. I enjoy quiet time before the rest of the family wakes up. After the kids are off to school, I log in and begin working. After work, we sit down as a family for dinner, and then I do about 45 minutes to an hour of Spanish lessons daily. After that, we relax and enjoy down time for the rest of the day.

Do you have any skills or talents most people don't know about?

I’ve been learning Spanish for three years, and I’m close to fluent. I am a hobby bee keeper, and an amateur radio operator.

12. If you could be anywhere than your home state, where would you want to be?

Florida, near the ocean. I have a lot of friends and family in Florida, and I really want to live close to water to enjoy warm weather, and good seafood.
