Clayton is hands down one of the best, most talented people I've ever worked with in production, spanning my career in network news and beyond in documentaries. The work ethic, enthusiasm and intelligence that he brings to every story he covers - whether it's hard news or features - are second to none. Equally as important, his journalistic ethics are unwavering. No less noteworthy, he's one of the nicest people you'll ever have the pleasure to be around. It's a lucky person who gets to work with Clayton in any capacity.
