About Part Time Business Partners
- As Seen and Heard On -
My name is Clay, its nice to meet you.
Like you, I’ve been a business owner. Now I coach and mentor others to develop their businesses into what they had always dreamed they could be.
I specialize in helping companies implement change in a way that encourages and engages people. I have facilitated highly successful financial and cultural turnarounds across a variety of industries and I’m a proven leader in refocusing teams toward common goals and restructuring company positions to best take advantage of individual strengths and weaknesses.
Prior to starting Part Time Business Partners, I served as President and CEO of Southern Hearth and Patio Inc. for 17 years. During that time I was repeatedly recognized regionally and nationally, among multiple industries, and my team earned “Small Business of the Year” by the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce in 2010.
I sold my company to a national chain in 2017.
