Raymond Evtuch

Born and raised on the "South Side" of Chicago. After surviving twelve years of public school education I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and MBA majoring in Market Research and Marketing from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. My first stop in the real world brought me to Cincinnati working for Burke Marketing Research. Heeding the call "to go west young man" I moved to sunny Arizona to work for The Dial Corporation as a Market Research Manager. I later became a Product Marketing Manager responsible for all facets of a multi-million line of products. While at The Dial Corporation, I also taught senior level Market Research and Marketing at Arizona State University for ten years.

Having caught the bug to become an entrepreneur I started a marketing consultant business, On Target marketing. that specialized in writing and producing business to business video and CD-ROM presentations. On of our video campaigns "Prescription to a Better Lifestyle" was honored for excellence by winning the prestigious "Telly" and "The Communicator" Awards. Then "wait for it" ... I opened a successful independent insurance agency for over seventeen years and just recently sold the agency to live the good life here in Scottsdale, Arizona and focus on a writing career. My passion is to write "character driven" screenplays in different genres that many audiences will enjoy.

I have two children Rachel and Jeffrey who have recently graduated from college and are my proudest achievement in life. I consider myself "one of the luckiest men in the world."
