Clayhaus.net is Jeff Clay.

Trained as a chemist, I spent 11 years working for Chevron in the Bay Area before my wife, Bonnie, and I decided that a move further east (but not that far!) was in order. Settling in Salt Lake City in 1994, Bonnie began a long career working as a Nurse Practitioner at Primary Children's Hospital. Meanwhile, I re-aligned my career by signing on with a small pharmaceutical start-up called Anesta. Initially working again as a chemist, I completed my transition to Information Technology (IT) and assumed the responsibility for all tactical and strategic computer-related needs.

Anesta was acquired by Cephalon, an up-and-coming east-coast pharma company. As Director of IT I saw much personal and professional growth, developing both my department and acting as project manager for several global initiatives. Cephalon began a re-organization and my position was re-located to the Philadelphia area. Having established ourselves with a wonderful network of friends and coming to (quickly and easily) loving the outdoors of Utah,moving to the east coast was not in our cards.

In March of 2008 Cephalon and I parted ways and I have begun a most interesting phase of my life: Clayhaus.net.

In the late '90's my interest in photography was re-kindled with a trip to Ireland. Setting up a website I began showing my work to friends and family. Over time this grew into a small business and with Cephalon's "freeing of my time" I have been able to put more time and effort into what has become Clayhaus Photography. I now regularly exhibit and sell images at festivals and online.

But there is another side to my business life and that is Clayhaus Consulting. In this guise I have taken on IT project management and business analyst roles for a number of companies ranging from pharma to medical device to non-profit organizations. In these roles I have lead or assisted with projects as diverse as laboratory systems implementation and web strategies.

Welcome to the new economy and the new world of Clayhaus.net!
