Ray Hollister
Digital Media DirectorRay’s love for radio and technology lead him to volunteer at WJCT 89.9 FM in 2011. After volunteering during WJCT’s "First Coast Connect with Melissa Ross" for several months, he asked if he could record a show about technology. Thus "Deemable Tech" was born.
From 2015 to 2016, Ray served in the newsroom as the Digital Content Editor writing, editing and aggregating news stories for the WJCT News website.
Ray came back as the Digital Media Director managing and developing all of the websites and social media account for WJCT Public Media.
Transplanted from Hollisterville, Pennsylvania, when he was less than 2 years old, Ray Hollister has lived in Jacksonville for almost his entire life. Ray graduated from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts as a vocal arts major, and he was an Internet services technology major at Florida State College at Jacksonville.
Ray enjoys playing Pokémon GO with his family and talking about himself in the third person.
