About Raymond Krehn
Hobbies
My hobbies are varied depending on the season. At home I generally find myself playing video games, primarily JRPGs and strategy games, writing music, and writing books. In the summers I like paddleboarding, hiking, riding OneWheel, and spending time with the kids outside. In winters I love skiing and hockey.
Work
I currently work at eCaring as a Senior Product Manager. I play a pivotal role in the development and success of our flagship product — a cutting-edge SaaS platform designed to enhance patient care and streamline operations for home care providers. My LinkedIn has more information about my current and past duties.
Family
I have been married to Candice since 2016 and we have two boys named Owen and Evan. The boys are 18 months apart and complete opposites. Owen, the older boy, is very wild and loud. He's found interests in video games (Rocket League and Auto Chess), chess, ice hockey, and taekwondo. Evan is quiet and easy-going. Evan has found interests in legos, robotics, and transformers. We enjoy spending times at parks, hiking, paddleboarding, skiing, traveling, and swimming.
Favorites
Music
My primary go-to genre is metal, and specifically black metal, death metal, and progressive metal. However, I also enjoy progressive rock and jazz. I'm a huge fan of Enslaved, but also find myself listening to Carpathian Forest, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, VOLA, Porcupine Tree, Beneath the Massacre, and more.
Movies
Any movie directed by Christopher Nolan, Guillermo Del Toro, Tim Burton, or Makoto Shinkai. Also enjoy V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings, Silence of the Lambs, Nightmare Before Christmas, Big Fish, Stardust, Cast Away, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Arrival.
Books
Anything by H.G. Wells (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, etc.), Lev Grossman (The Magicians, Codex, etc.), Christopher Moore (Noir, Lamb), Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games, Gregor the Overlander), and Terry Brooks' Sword of Shannara series. I also enjoyed Ender's Game and some of The Witcher novels.
Art
I generally enjoy surrealism like Zdzislaw Beksinski and Claude Verlinde.
