Ray Hartjen

I am a content marketer, writer, musician and songwriter living in Mission Viejo, California. In a professional career that has spanned parts of five decades, I have pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to life sciences, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. One constant throughout my career path, however, has been storytelling. A cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a ‘y,’ I periodically chronicle my experience as a multiple myeloma patient. And, with life’s soundtrack constantly playing in my head, I also record and perform with my two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres.
