Dr Gray was born in New England and first came to England as a schoolboy in the 1970s. He returned to complete his undergraduate studies at the University of London and was subsequently enrolled as a post-graduate student at the University of Exeter. Dr Gray was awarded his Doctorate in History in 1989 and he remains a Research Fellow of the University as well as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. In 2014 he was awarded an MBE for his services to local studies and in 2018 was given the Freedom of the City of Exeter.

He set up his own publishing business and has now successfully published 48 titles written by him or other writers. Five were awarded `Devon Book of the Year’ by the Devon History Society. His work covers a wide range of aspects relating to the South West and particularly Devon and Exeter. All stages of a book’s publication are organised and produced in Devon using other local businesses.
