Raymond (“Ray”) Disch began his post-high school career working in the family construction business until college called him back to the classroom. Ray graduated from Cornell University
with a Bachelor’s degree in Labor and Industrial Relations. He moved to Washington, D.C. to work as a staff assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Labor and then worked as a Human Resources Manager at Merck & Company for six years.
As Ray’s entrepreneurial inclinations surfaced, he realized corporate life wasn’t the best fit. So he and his wife, Erica, along with another partner, founded, built, owned, and managed Triumph Brewing Company in Princeton, which became a New Jersey institution. After the sale of Triumph in 1999, Ray and four partners started a second company: Power Works. When the deregulated energy market collapsed in 2001, Ray sold the company and moved into commercial real estate, working for Trillium, a boutique firm in Hopewell. Ray completed his three-year apprenticeship as an agent and property manager, after which he went on to get his broker’s license. After careful study of the residential and commercial real estate business in the Greater Princeton Area, he started his own agency: Disch Real Estate. After several years at the helm, Ray joined Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty in 2009. He was the managing broker of Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty’s Hopewell office from 2009 to 2013.
Ray also founded Total Home Manager (THM) in 2009, a residential home improvement business in Hopewell. He sold his interest in THM in September 2024. Ever the entrepreneur, Ray founded and managed Sourland Mountain Spirits, “New Jersey’s Farm Distillery” in 2015. After ten years, Ray closed this business in September 2024 as well.
Ray is now once again focused on residential real estate as a full time Broker Associate with Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty in Princeton. He also has extensive experience in commercial real estate, as well as in farm and land sales and acquisitions.
