A bit of a rolling stone, Clayton grew up in every corner of the US from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest, before earning his undergraduate degree from Birmingham-Southern College. He recently returned from The University of Limerick in Ireland where he was finishing up a postgraduate degree in creative writing. When he’s not writing for Consensus, he’s drafting poetry, novels, and love letters to his fiance. In the quiet moments of life, he dreams up short stories and edits his second novel.
