Frank Clay, Jr. is a devoted Christian from Philadelphia, PA, whose faith and early experiences shaped his journey from a troubled youth to a leader and mentor. Raised with the guidance of church Bible schools and the Boy Scouts, Frank transformed from a life of fighting and stealing into one grounded in strong values of right and wrong.

His military career further deepened his commitment to principles like loyalty, duty, respect, integrity, and courage. As a young officer and later a US Army Commander, Frank inspired and disciplined recruits, helping them overcome challenges they once thought impossible.

After military service, Frank embraced Christian-rooted leadership teachings from icons like John Maxwell and Stephen Covey, while developing his own philosophy centered on making the “GROWTH SHIFT.” This core idea is at the heart of his book, YES, YOU CAN! Empowering Your Life’s Journey—a guide filled with forty life lessons designed to motivate growth, responsibility, and success.

Married for over 47 years with two daughters, two sons-in-law, and seven grandchildren, Frank understands the vital role of mentorship, especially for young people who lack positive role models. Written from a father’s and grandfather’s perspective, his book aims to provide timeless wisdom and encouragement rooted in biblical values.

Frank’s message is clear: “YES, YOU CAN become anything you put your mind to in life. Enjoy the journey!”
