He completed high school in just five years after spending three of those years in the ninth grade alone. Clay turned to a life of crime at the age of 26 after struggling to find fulfillment at work and at home. As a result, he spent the next year running from his life, his family, and himself.

He is living proof that a successful man can indeed begin his journey as a nameless inmate. Unsurprisingly, after turning his life around, he is especially committed to serving those who have lost all hope.
