Background

McNay was born in Covington, Kentucky, on February 13, 1959, to parents Joseph O. McNay (1933–1993)[2] and Ollie O. McNay (1939–2006).[3] He had two siblings: Theresa Ann McNay Francis (1969–2006)[4] and half brother Joseph John McNay. McNay graduated from Covington Catholic High School in 1977,[5] then graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelors in Journalism and Political Science in 1981.[citation needed] He was inducted into their Hall of Distinguished Alumni in 1998. He later attended Vanderbilt University for his master's degree, and earned a second from The American College of Financial Services. He went on to obtain four professional designations in the financial services field: Chartered Financial Consultant, Chartered Life Underwriter, Certified Structured Settlement Consultant, and Master of Science in Financial Services.

McNay founded McNay Settlement Group Inc. in 1982,[6] specializing in structured settlements, qualified settlement funds, and mass torts, as well as Kentucky Guardianship Administrators.[7] He served on the Board of Directors for the National Structured Settlement Trade Association and the Society of Settlement Planners. He has been active in Kentucky politics, including Assistant Kentucky State Coordinator for Al Gore's successful presidential primary campaign in 1988 and Campaign Treasurer for Former Secretary of State and State Auditor Bob Babbage.

Don was married to Dr. Karen Thomas McNay, President of the Ursuline Academy in New Orleans, the oldest Catholic school and oldest all girls school in the United States.[8] He has two daughters, Angela Luhys[9] and Gena Bigler[10] (married to Clay Bigler[11]).

McNay died on May 29, 2016, in New Orleans, Louisiana, aged 57.[12]

McNay won "Best Columnist" from the Kentucky Press Association in 2005.[24] He was a syndicated newspaper columnist for CNHI news service from 2006 to 2013 and a community columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader from 1983 to 1986.
