Brock Ray, a native of Oxford, Alabama, is a big game hunting aficionado and, a whitetail hunting expert. Brock Ray has always been a grandiose dreamer. The difference between Brock and most other dreamers is he acts to makes his dreams reality, a true man of ingenuity. How else can one make an excuse for having the outdoors as an office?

While Brock is the engine of the EMGruppe where he is President, Brock is no desk fixture. At age 28, Brock decided to couple his knowledge of mundane business with his true love, the outdoors. Since, he formed Thicket Publishing, which he commanded from his basement. Brock worked his way up in the business world producing five (5) magazines devoted to hunting. His enterprising ventures then led him into Radio and TV.

Brocks business enabled him to become a hunting aficionado and, most importantly, a whitetail connoisseur hunting big game worldwide. But that was not enough.
