Our Team

Trinity Ray is a father, husband, brother, son, avid reader, traveler and President of The Tuesday Agency (not necessarily in that order).

He’s spent sixteen years in the lecture industry, as an event coordinator, agent and as a program director. Most recently he was Vice President at a large lecture bureau in Boston where he developed a successful literary lectures division – establishing and maintaining relationships with authors, publishers and literary agents around the world.

Trinity served eight years in the United States Army Reserve and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Iowa.

Among other things, he has worked as a farm hand, a roadie and a fishmonger. He has run the Boston Marathon, rode cross-country in a semi-truck, won second place in a chili cook-off, first place in a yodeling contest and lived for a short while on the banks of the Panama Canal.

 

 

Kevin Mills is passionate about books, music and food. He prefers to spend his free time in dusty old bookstores, dusty old record stores and greasy old diners. He is Vice President of The Tuesday Agency.

Most recently Kevin spent six years living in Las Vegas. There, as a public school teacher, he had the privilege of sharing the power of literature, language, and the spoken word with some of our nation’s most academically challenged students.

Having grown up on a horse ranch in rural Nebraska, Kevin has made his way down many roads, living across the country, including stints in Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles. While pursuing rock stardom he managed to earn his Journeyman’s Certification from the Musicians Institute of Hollywood. He’s also received a Bachelor’s Degree in English from The University of Iowa and a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Illinois State University.

Kevin can stay up all night talking about great books or Creedence Clearwater Revival…and sometimes he does.
