Raymond Jack Szmanda, Sr. (born June 22, 1926) is a radio and television announcer who became well-known across the midwestern United States for his "Menards Guy," who has advertised for the home improvement store for more than two decades. He continues to periodically make new ads, and a comic likeness of himself remains in most of Menards' print and in-store advertising. Szmanda currently lives in Antigo, Wisconsin. His family includes four sons and three daughters. His wife, Maxine, died in 1999.Szmanda learned his trade at the American Institute of the Air, and took writing courses from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and University of Wisconsin–Madison.He worked for radio and television stations as a staff announcer from 1951 to 1958, when he began to freelance. From 1959 until 1978, he operated the Trans-American School of Broadcasting in his hometown of Wausau, Wisconsin.

However, he partially returned to the job in 1999, making occasional ads since that time.There has been recent fallout over controversy that has arose about an illness, as Szmanda suffered from flu like symptoms and had to sit out for a week from work. Fortunately for the hardware community, Szmanda made a full recovery and is now recording voices for his commercials in his beach home in Miami.In addition to his announcing work, Szmanda has other hobbies, including drumming, collecting shiny rocks and collecting antique cars.
