About Karl LeRay
Karl LeRay, local karaoke star, hails from afar . . . from Kingston, Jamaica to be more exact. Karl was born to thoroughly normal, upper middle-class parents in Jamaica (the country) during the Kennedy Era. They immigrated to the United States where he was raised in a loving, supportive household in New York City, and educated well by his parents and his teachers. Naturally . . . he couldn’t stand the heat and bustle—thus his permanent residence in Alaska.

Karl is multi-faceted: information technology specialist, avid motorcyclist for nearly three decades, and singer of a mean karaoke. When not writing lame biographies of himself, other hobbies include photography, listening to too-loud music, gourmet cooking (and eating thereof) reading, writing, gaming, and an almost unknown sport called “thinking” (a vigorous avocation; it has a small but fiercely loyal following). He’s been known to be seriously into Internet Porn from time to time though he claims that this somehow enhances his desire of poetry and other literature. This is where that whole writing thing comes into play. A proponent of the needlessly long sentence, he has never met a comma or a clause that he didn’t like.

His full-time business, Apex Logic, and several part-time projects somehow leave him time to enjoy being a member of the Dawgs of the North, ABATE, CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association), and HOG (Harley Owners Group), photography, and, of course, commandeering the karaoke stage. With all this in his life, free time is a precious commodity. He yearns for a vacation more than anything else. Perhaps the day that he achieves his goal of becoming independently wealthy, he can finally settle down and do what he wants to do most which . . . well . . . he’ll figure that out when he has a moment to do so. You’ll find him @hogbiker on Twitter.
