Some things you might not know about Clay ...

What did you want to be when you grew up?

"Maybe it was from watching John Wayne movies with my grandpa, or Woody from Toy Story, but I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up! While I do not have cattle or a ranch, I am an Oklahoma State University Cowboy. Go Pokes!"

What is your favorite show that you can watch over and over again?

"I have seen the movie School of Rock (with Jack Black) probably over 100 times and can quote most of it from heart. The Office is a TV show I can watch repeatedly and find hilarious again and again."

What do you like to do in your free time?

"I am an active road racing cyclist, so in my free time I spend hours on the bike doing long solo rides, weekend group rides, and criterium racing. Criterium races or “crits” for short are fast pace, short circuit races on a closed course, where cyclists take corners at high speeds and experience exciting sprint finishes! Tulsa hosts one of the largest races in the U.S. called “Tulsa Tough”. This three-day cycling festival brings more than 50,000 spectators to watch, and racers from all over the world."
