Gray, who will make $89,851 in his new job, was an associate with the Newport Beach law firm Wyman, Bautzer, Rothmond, Kuchel & Silbert from 1979-83. Before that, he was an assistant U.S. attorney.
Gray was a lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps of the U.S. Navy from 1972-75. He received his bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1966 and his law degree from USC five years later.
