Born in Chicago, Illinois, Clayton’s parents moved to Fostoria, Ohio just prior to him starting school. A Fostoria native for the majority of his life, and Fostoria High School graduate, he became the city’s first African American police officer.

Now retired from the police force, Moore spends his time working at a local gym, coaching high school sports, volunteering at the local sharing kitchen, and giving back to the community any way he can. He loves music, games, and traveling. Ask him about the UFO he saw when he was eight years old!

Moore holds a B.A. in communications from the University of Toledo, where he also earned his paralegal certificate. He also earned a certificate in micro computing from Stauzenberger College.

He is a member of the City of Fostoria Charter Review Commission, the Ohio Committee for the Imagine for Youth Organization, and the NW Findlay Organization for Basketball Officials.
