Daniel Clayton
I am a husband, father of three, and I have traveled to places like Africa and Brazil. I studied Sociology, Anthropology, and Archaeology in college. I attend church and read the Bible; I do a lot of personal study of religion. I have been a youth pastor for four years and have been preaching for nearly 10 years. I write poetry and love to watch MMA and boxing. I am from a small town in Arkansas but have been to some of the biggest cities in the United States and the world. I have attended three different colleges: Baylor University, Ouachita Baptist University, and Henderson State University. I love music! I listen to Christian rock, rap, contemporary, etc. I also love to do DIY projects around my home and do Handyman jobs for others around where I live.
