Building on that experience, Paul went on to open his own moving company in Gainesville. He specialized in training college athletes into professional movers that successfully serviced customers throughout North Central Florida, developing a reputation for reliability, teamwork, and customer-focused service.

Following the closure of his Gainesville-based moving company during the pandemic, Paul returned to Louisville, where he served as a firefighter.

Jon Lamberson – Business Development Manager

Jonathan Lamberson is a Naples, Florida–based sales and operations professional with deep roots in the moving and storage industry. He graduated from the University of Florida, where he developed a strong foundation in business operations, analytics, and customer service.

During his time at UF, and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jonathan partnered with his cousin Paul to launch a pop-up moving company in Gainesville. What began as a practical solution to meet local demand quickly grew into a successful small business that provided hands-on experience in logistics, client relations, and operational management. Together, they built a reputation for professionalism and reliability while helping customers navigate relocations during an uncertain time.

After completing his degree and closing the Gainesville venture, Jonathan pursued opportunities to further develop his skills in data analysis and operations. He ultimately found his way back to the moving industry, joining his older cousin, Matthew, and Paul as part of the growing Ray The Mover organization in Southwest Florida.

At Ray The Mover, Jonathan serves in a leadership role focused on business development, sales operations, and process improvement. His combination of entrepreneurial experience, analytical thinking, and customer-first mentality allows him to help expand the company’s reach while ensuring clients receive exceptional service.
