In 2017 Ray started his fishing company Baztec, Inc. Minnesota’s first bilingual fishing educational platform dedicated to serving folks from the Latino community. Since then, Ray and his team have hosted and facilitated over 200 community outreach fishing events with a distinct focus on delivering programming to underrepresented communities and people of color. In 2023, in conjunction to his business, Ray founded Baztec Fishing & Outdoors, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to enhance Baztec, Inc mission by providing fishing, hunting, camping, biking, birding and other outdoor activities to kids of color, as well as scholarship opportunities for BIPOC youth that want to get into Natural Resources and STEM fields.
