About Ray
Hello, I am Ray Mingo, I am an ordinary man who has three wonderful girls. My strongest desire is to be in my children's lives, so I pursued it with all diligence. What man wouldn't?
I am also a self-publish author of a book in 2013 entitled “Who’s Your Daddy “. A book about fatherhood in which I also chronicle some of his life experience as a single father and my life without the presence of a father. This book is where I also give my personal philosophy on the topic of fatherhood.
I have worked as a residential counselor for 20 years; working with adolescents and adults with behavior issues. I’ve also worked as a site mentor for Philadelphia Anti-Drug/Anti-Violent Network (PAAN) under its founder the late James Mills. I’ve taught a martial arts class for an after school program in which I focused on discipline, respect, self-respect, and self-esteem; not only on the physicals of martial arts.
I have a specialized associate degree in commercial arts and advertisement. I’ve used my artistic ability to develop and create a trademark for my t-shirt line called “do you” with the subtitle “If you don’t do you, then who will?” I have certification as a personal trainer and massage therapist. I am an accomplished martial artist with 25 years of experience, in which I’ve obtained a black belt in Karate/ Japanese jujutsu, a blue belt in Brazilian Jujitsu, Muay Thai (blue sash). With many years of training, he developed a hand to hand combat system called N2C (NO SECOND CHANCE Combat & Self-defense System)
But with everything that I’ve mentioned my greatest achievement bar none is my three daughters. I receive my greatest joy and rewards in being involved and spending time with them. They are and will always be my reason for living.
