Raymond served for seven years in the Royal Australian Navy before establishing and operating a personal training business. He commenced a psychology degree at 30 and completed it at 38 while working full-time.

Raymond founded Capable Life in response to concerns consistently raised by parents of neurodivergent children, including who would advocate for their child in the future and how to prepare them for independent living. He leads the organisation’s skill-building supports and is developing his practice in positive behaviour support.
