I’d love to claim myself as a bona fide Hemingway type of guy, but as an ultrarunning, tree-hugging girl-dad with as much machismo as a can of Coconut LaCroix, that might be embellishing a bit. In fact, that’s a much better introduction. Hi, I’m Clay: Professional embellisher.

The truth is, I’m am obsessive storyteller with knack for finding interesting ways to educate, delight, and solve problems. I’m a team-builder, a truth-teller, a grinder, and an unflagging ideator.

At the moment, I work as Head of Copy & Content at Mr. Cooper, the largest mortgage company in the U.S. Before that, I managed content and editorial teams at the Boy Scouts of America, YPO, The Dallas Morning News, Hotels.com, and Kennedy Center for Human Rights.

Along the way, I created and wrote the best-selling children’s book series WHO WINS: A Handbook of Hysterical Historical Hypotheticals.
