Ray Loyd Tune lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he manages his real estate and other investments. He received his MBA from Texas A&M, Commerce, Texas in 1978 and went on to manage operations for several Fortune 500 companies. He has written several articles for trade magazines and periodicals; he continues to work as a free-lance writer for Oil and Gas publications.
