Ray Padron

 

After a 32 year career in the insurance industry in the areas of Risk Management and Loss Control, Ray decided to pursue some of his other passions, including real estate and photography. Today he is an Associate Broker with Prudential Connecticut Realty working as a team with his wife Claire, and in his spare time he is a Free Lance Photographer. Ray has a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the City College of New York and holds the designation of Certified Safety Professional (Retired).  He moved with his family to Simsbury in 1979 as part of a relocation to the Home Office of Aetna Life and Casualty and has been in love with this town and the Farmington Valley ever since.  He is a member of the Simsbury Camera Club and a volunteer photographer for the Simsbury Land Trust, the Simsbury Chamber of Commerce, the Simsbury Main Street Association, and other non-profit groups within the town.  In 2009 Ray published a photographic book titled:  "SIMSBURY - A New England Jewel".  It summarizes through 92 beautiful photographs the character, charm, history, architecture and other features that make the town such a wonderful place where to live and work.  The book can be previewed and purchased from the publisher Blurb.com by visiting the web site:  http://www.blurb.com/user/store/raypadron
