Clay Lundquist
About Me
Entrepreneur, Husband, Traveler
I am a seasoned event professional who was born on what I’m told was the coldest day in years, but I really don’t remember. I grew up in small towns in the Midwest with brief interludes in cities in the South. I hate the cold but went to college in Minnesota. I have yet to use my PR degree.
After college I moved to LA with my then college sweetie and current wife to work in film and television. I’ve worked on some of the worlds most well known game shows. Not quite what I planned but not a bad consolation prize.
I’ve started a few businesses and a couple have been successful.
I listen to old school rap, read Scandinavian fiction and have a cat named Kevin.
People say I’m funny. I tend to agree.
