He has been married to his wife, Linda, for more than 20 years. They have two children together, a daughter and a son. Bray was born on August 9th, 1967 in Fort Worth, Texas. He grew up there with his family: his mother, two brothers, and one sister. His family was very religious; he went to church every day after school and on weekends. When he was 10 years old, his parents divorced. From then on, he went to live with his mother. He said that this change helped him grow up faster because he didn't want to be like his father who was often gone during summer vacation. After his divorce, he moved with his mom to California where she had found a new job. There he met another girl named Linda who lived across the street from him. They liked each other at first sight and started dating right away even though they were both 16 years old. A few months later, they decided to get married.
