As a 16 year old he took a trip “off to see the world.” He hitchhiked to California from his daddy’s farm in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. He slept under bridges, hopped a rides on boxcars, “sang for his supper’ many times and “almost froze to death” in the Rocky Mountains.Clay began a career in advertising in 1983 in phone book advertising sales. In 1989 he started his own small shopper/coupon paper called the Ad Sheet in Paducah Kentucky. After five years and great success he sold it. In November 2000, he began a career in radio with Bristol Broadcasting which lead him to meeting The Wizard of Ads himself; Roy H.

Finding a need and filling it; Clay became a wordsmith and a professional writer of creative ad campaigns.
