Ray Bence

In 1984 Ray Bence worked for an accounting firm that was engaged in the audit of a Southern California escrow company. Personal computers had just come on the scene and escrow officers were telling Ray how they wished there was software to handle their escrow trust accounting in-house.

With the help of John Booth, a computer programmer and friend from college, the software development process began and Ray formed RBJ Computer Systems, Inc. with his employers Barry and Jim, using the initials of all three as the company name. Shortly thereafter, Ray bought out his former employers and continued as the company’s president and owner.
