Clay unites a passion for the collaborative nature of the filmmaking process and an eye for detail to his role as Editor at Modern Post. He took to the craft early on, picking up a camera as a teenager to shoot and edit skate videos & documenting friends and family, which quickly got him hooked on the creative process. With a background steeped in both fine arts and an inherent technical prowess, he found himself magnetized to the creative synergy of the editorial process.

Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, Clay grew up in a creative family and started his work making videos at a young age. Eager to get his career started, he pivoted away from film school in favor of hands-on work experience. He landed an internship at a boutique post shop, where he learned about the editing craft hands-on from top talent in the industry. With excitement for many kinds of projects, he shifted to work as a freelance editor, working on an array of commercial, documentary, music video, feature film and fashion projects. He made the leap back into a staff role, joining Modern Post in 2018, where he was recently promoted to an Editor role. Outside of work, he enjoys skateboarding, fishing, and exploring the outdoors with his dog.
