Clayton has been in this industry for over 33 years. Since 2006, he has been running the San Antonio District HMA lab, performing tests for all plants servicing the San Antonio District. His knowledge and work ethic are second to none.

In the past few years alone, Clayton has almost singlehandedly set up all of the HMA field laboratories for compliance with updated QAP requirements; approved all mix designs, trial batches, correction factors, and daily test results in the 1million tonnage range; implemented processes for binder sampling, tracking, and reporting that has been mimicked in other districts; and been available at all hours of the day and night to contractors and inspectors when issues arise.

Clayton is often referred to as the local Asphalt expert by TxDOT, Cities, Counties, Contractors, and the private industry. He has a deep understanding of state specifications and HMA mechanics, all while demonstrating true leadership qualities.
