Hey Everyone!
My name is Clayton, I'm a 22 year-old content creator based out of Carlsbad, CA. I'm a University of Utah alumni, and love all things sports and outdoor related. I have been fortunate enough to spend nearly a decade exploring the worlds of photography, videography, graphic design, etc, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in content creation.
I first began taking photos with my iPod Touch, back when I was around 12 years old, falling in love with flower "macro" shots and sunset photos. A couple of years later, I was given an old Canon 40d, which sparked my true passion for photography. As middle and high school went by, I perpetually upgraded my gear, while also shooting in various scenarios and learning more about the industry. During sophomore year, I began a job at a local start-up, LIGHT Helmets, a company designing next-generation football helmets. While working there as a helmet assembler, I developed a keen interest in marketing and advertising, which I eventually followed in college. With upgraded gear and some quality photos under my belt, I returned to LIGHT as a Marketing Intern, where I helped manage day-to-day social media interactions and worked with the Senior Director of Marketing and CEO to help establish the company's marketing strategies and goals that fit within their start-up budget. Following that, I opted to return for another summer as the company's Creative Content Manager, producing and editing the majority of the marketing material and collaborating with major athletes and influencers. In my time as a Marketing Intern and Creative Content Manager so far, I have been able to bring LIGHT Helmets' following to new heights and develop a cohesive community of players, parents, fans, coaches, and more.
