Raymond MAASKE

Born a farmer, faced with numerous challenges from the start; and learning and loving everything resulting from the firm belief that “the impossible is just a little harder to achieve.”

From struggling with literacy as a child to publishing more than a half a dozen books. From being teased at school for being fat and lazy to cycling 3300 km thru more than a half dozen European countries and completing an Ironman Triathlon and the Challenge Triathlon. From being told growing up that he would ‘never amount to much’ to retiring twice and living and traveling four times around the world – twice with his four children. Raymond MAASKE seems to be energized and ‘fired up’ when told that four letter swear word “Can’t”!

Raymond grew up financially and spiritually poor to earning and being awarded degrees in Business and Theology and using that knowledge to own and operate a dozen companies and serving as a Baptist pastor. From being ‘unteachable’ to teaching thousands of students around the world. Raymond has lived in many places and environments from benches, cars, vans to a huge executive custom home.

With Raymond’s vast experiences of living on the streets and begging for his next meal to being served tea by billionaires he can relate, communicate and energize anyone by encouraging others to seek the passion and desires stored up inside themselves and move from ‘ordinary to extraordinary’.
