Clay was born and raised in Campobello, South Carolina where he began his relationship with Jesus at the age of 8. Growing up, Clay was involved in competitive sports running cross country and track in high school and in college. Going to college at North Greenville was an incredible time for Clay because the Lord used the local church he served at to call him into vocational ministry. Clay began serving the students at LifeSong church and saw his passion for serving students come alive. God called Clay into ministry during the church’s summer camp when he saw students make professions of faith. He served as a small group leader, intern, and coach for their ministry while he finished a youth ministry degree at North Greenville.

Clay is passionate about student discipleship and challenging students to have an impact now. He loves to learn and is always trying something new. You will likely find Clay playing sports, reading a book, or hanging out with students. Clay and his wife Millie are excited about serving the students of Clarksville.
