RAY TYE is a retired Marine officer and former IT executive who left home at fourteen with seven dollars in his pocket after his father gave him an ultimatum. Over the next twenty-five years, he built a life his teenage self could barely imagine—enlisting in the Marines at seventeen, retiring as a commissioned officer, and leading IT and cybersecurity initiatives for business and government agencies. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from Texas State University.
After a quarter-century of estrangement, Ray and his father found their way back to each other—not by erasing the past, but by honoring who they'd both become. That reconciliation convinced Ray that families can heal without anyone having to surrender their truth.
Travis Heights is a fast-paced read that doesn’t sugarcoat the hard parts or deliver easy answers. If you’ve ever navigated a complicated family or deeply personal relationship—or wondered whether broken things can really be repaired—Ray wrote this book for you. He’s grateful to every reader who gives it their honest assessment.
