Hi, I am Christopher Clay, host of The Assent Podcast. Let me tell you a little bit about myself!

First off, I am a Christian. I take my faith seriously; I love God and all of his creation, especially people! God has blessed me with wonderful friends and family.

Professionally, I am an experienced chief financial officer with a history of success in healthcare. I love to build businesses, hire people, and make the world a better place. I am skilled at finance, planning, operations, management, accounting, and team building. I like to help communities grow and enjoy bringing about healthy changes.

For fun, I like to read- scripture, the church fathers, philosophy, psychology, business, finance, and a little pulp fiction too. I am always looking for an excuse to get outside too! Backpacking, snowboarding, and mountain biking are my favorite things to do. I am trying to learn how to bow hunt and fly fish with the help of some dear friends. For health, I practice Brazilian jiu-jistu, kettlebell, and running.

Thanks for supporting regular guys like me!
