01 / About
Finance-trained, field-tested — a jack of all trades.
The throughline behind the ventures: formal training in finance, years spent inside banks and commercial real estate, and a long line of small businesses built from the ground up.
Roy Gregory Clayton
Nelson, BC
Roy holds an MBA and a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance — and spent the early part of his career inside the financial world, working for banks and in commercial real estate development.
He turned that training toward building businesses of his own, founding and running multiple small ventures over the years — the kind where you do a little of everything. A genuine jack of all trades, he’s as comfortable with a balance sheet as he is with the hands-on work of getting something off the ground.
Today he lives off-grid in the Kootenays, where he keeps building — and is a proud father of two.
