Early life and education
Although born in Manhattan, Ray was raised in Queens, New York City, by his parents who were immigrants from Puerto Rico – his father’s name is Ray Narvaez Senior, but he hasn’t revealed his mother’s name, nor spoken about their professions. Ray isn’t an only child, as he has a sister named Alexa.
Ray had an interest in playing games from an early age – and according to him, he started playing when he was two years old, and at the age of five, he was already wearing glasses because he would spend most of his day playing video games.
Speaking of his educational background, he attended a local high school, and upon matriculating in 2007, he enrolled at Queens College, however, he dropped out after a year because he frequently skipped lectures.
His parents were disappointed, and so Ray had to go find work to provide for himself, thus he first worked as a server at one of New York City’s bars, and then as a delivery truck assistant, however, he was still playing games, and eventually, Ray moved to Austin, Texas to work at Rooster Teeth Productions, an American audio-video production company.
Rise to prominence
At first Ray starred in Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter videos, such as “Lets Play”, and also worked as a voice actor for the animated series “X-Ray and Vav”. He made guides for the achievements that were too hard for other employees, and worked as an editor, content creator, and recurring host, before he was officially hired by the company on 6 April 2012.
Ray was later promoted to the 6th main host at Achievement Hunter, and became recognized as the best gamer in Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter due to his unbeatable skills in various video games. He won the “Tower of Pimps” the most times, has the longest “Versus” winning streak, survived more rounds in “Black Ops: Zombies”, and has the highest gamer-score out of all the Achievement Hunters.
Ray started streaming on Twitch in 2013 as a hobby, but soon he became one of the most famous Twitch streamers, thanks to streaming several times per week and being interactive with his viewers.
Two years later, Ray announced his departure from Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter to pursue his Twitch streaming career, and on 17 April 2015, he left the company and next day started live-streaming video games on Twitch full-time, mostly featuring Xbox games, and he’s still focused on unlocking achievements to further his already impressive gamer-score, which is today over 1.8 million.
Ray streams every day except Mondays and Thursdays, and still lives in Austin. Besides his real name, he’s known as X-Ray, Good Guy Ray, Puerto Rican Thunder, TAFKAR, Moto-cop, but he mostly likes to be called by his moniker BrownMan, which he got while he was in elementary school.
