He considers being a trainer at the fast-food establishment as one of his greatest successes. He can talk about it for hours if you show even a little bit of interest in this story. Though, that does nothing for his work experience when it comes to why he became a Technical Analyst for the Bureau. Starting at a very young age in the era of technology, Ray took an interest in computers, software, and anything that was based on modern and advanced technology. In his early teen years, he began to participate in cybersecurity and other conventions like DEF CON, Black Hat, and more. Along with deep diving into his hobby, Ray was taking college courses for cybersecurity in high school, taught himself how to code, and took official coding classes. After high school, he went to college to get a degree in cybersecurity and dove deeper into the world of gaining information that you were not supposed to see. A DEF CON convention happened in his early years of college, and a guest speaker from homeland security urged the audience to make his phone ring - he practically egged them on. Ray decided that he could do better and went right on to make the voice app on the phone begin to talk; he got the phone to chant his name "Ray". Being young and dumb, he didn't realize that the guest speaker was trying to look for hackers to get them to work for homeland security or some other type of government section. Quickly, he stopped hacking and tried his hardest to cut the signal from his computer to the phone - too late, Ray! Within the week, government officials came to talk to him in his dorm room. He declined the job offer and quickly tried to hide from the government's eyes. Three more visits from government officials, dropping out of college, and drug use, young Ray Hoffman began to slip away into the darkness of the world. He ended up moving back with his parents and sticking to his hobby of infiltrating systems. The Bureau's networking and investigation section picked up on him only months ago. Offering him a job, since he penetrated their systems for the "fun" of it; that's what he said in the interview. [hr] Written interactions: [hider=When he was hired on to the team] [center]Five months ago[/center] Ray walked into the office with a pearly-white smile on his face, freshly shaved, and dressed to impress. Strutting into the common area, he saw the whole crew except the Unit and Sectional Chief at this moment. Taking a great look at the members in front of him - he tilted his head while pushing his shades down. A cheeky grin formed on his face while he thought about what to say, "Guys, we are going to have the best time of our lives working together!" he practically rocked on his heels while doing finger guns and flicking his head up to readjust his glasses without touching them. Spinning on his heel, he took out his phone camera, "Now, everyone says 'cheese'!" He shouted before snapping a picture of everyone at their desks. The flash was on and everything, he instantly went to look at it with the childish behavior and excitement he was filled up with. "Now, which one of you are Chief Neagoe. I need to have a convo with this man," he allowed his finger to swirl around in the air ready to point at someone. With no one answering, he seemed to awkwardly revert into himself but still went with the jesture. "I'm Chief Neagoe," Lucian said plainly while standing on the half-floor above the common space. "Oh," Ray said while biting his lip, "I love how you dress sir. Did anyone tell you that you look like a god? You know-" Ray was someone who could be considered to be a kiss-ass or talk their way out of anything. Lucian cut him off before telling him to get into his office. "Y-y-Yes, sir. Right away. We can do that," Ray instantly went to walk out the way he came out of a panic response. Instantly turning around, "Which way is your office?" he asked while awkwardly adjusting his vest. Lucian pointed at the door behind him and Ray waved his finger while rushing over to the boss. "Also, I love your eyes, keep up the good work," he said while passing Agent Samantha Stannis. Turning around quickly to say something to Joseph Thoreau, he did a double finger-gun motion at the older man, "You, sir. I can tell that we will be great friends!" he said while getting huffed at by Lucian. That caused Ray to instantly bolt into the man's office.

Juliette never wanted children, and that could show through her mothering skills compared to Ray Hoffman the 2nd, who was a great father to Ray Hoffman the 3rd. Even though Juliette had a rough time through parenting and motherhood, Ray considers her an amazing mother. The most tragic events to ever happen in Ray's life were the year that his father accidentally ran over his puppy, Timothy, and that other year when he found out that his mother never wanted him because of a big family argument. Other than those two events, he cannot remember any negative things happening in his life which might be the reason he is such a positive and outgoing individual.
