Clay Brown graduated High School in a small town in Eastern Oregon in nineteen fifty-three, was married just after graduation, and enrolled in Oregon Technical Institute that same autumn. By spring a daughter joined the family and the money was gone.

The family moved to Washington State to look for work, and by simple coincidence, Clay Brown found work at a large electric utility. His work was a beginning job on a construction crew, then as an apprentice lineman. He then enrolled in night classes at the local community college to continue studies in engineering. He was transferred to engineering, where he advanced to Senior Engineer in a District, despite not having completed his degree.

Eleven years later, he changed companies, joining another large utility in Portland, Oregon. Starting as an engineer, he soon advanced to District Engineer in Portland, and then moved back to construction as an Assistant Superintendent. Following this, he held titles of Assistant Superintendent, District Line Superintendent, Division Line Superintendent, Division Operations Manager, and retired in nineteen ninety-two as Area Operations Manager.

During his years with the electric utilities, he served on many committees and forums. He served as a member of the Public Safety Committee, the Washington State Code Committee, sub-committees for the National Electrical Safety Code, member of the Northwest Electric Light & Power Association. He also served on labor negotiations committees, and as chairman of the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee.

Following retirement, he began training and competing pointing bird dogs professionally, something he had pursued for twenty years as a hobby. As a Professional Bird Dog Trainer, he found his long-time hobby much less rewarding. The result was a return to amateur competition and eight years of touring the country from Canada to Mexico and from the Pacific Ocean to the Mississippi River. Traveling with eighteen dogs and two horses, he competed successfully until the turn of the century before leaving the competition circuit.

He holds the highest-class amateur radio license, K7HC, the Amateur Extra. Licensed since 1957, this also has been a life-long hobby.

Clay Brown continues to deal with the electric utility world serving as an expert witness in various litigation processes.
