Ray made a lot of money playing high stakes poker in Nevada well before the poker boom. Then he bought a ranch east of Whitefish, Montana and has been there ever since. He still plays in the Montana games but rarely travels out of state. When asked why he passed on the poker boom he says he has already made his money and lives where he is happiest.
Sklansky and Malmuth respected his O8 and Stud8 play so much they asked him to write the book on it. Zee is not his real last name. I can't remember what it is but it starts with a Z and is a long Italian sounding name. He got the name Ray Zee because that's how he put his name on the waiting lists to get into the cash games in Nevada.
There is a thread on 2 + 2 called From Ray to Zee. Anyone can converse with Ray through the thread. You will see in the thread that Ray is really into nature.
