JIM CLAYTON
Founder and Chairman of Clayton Homes
From the Tennessee cotton fields to Wall Street: Jim Clayton’s story in his own words.
James L. Clayton: lawyer, engineer, pilot, teacher, TV host, banker, country singer, and philanthropist.
Retired CEO of Clayton Homes, a NYSE (CMH) company lauded by Wall Street, Jim Clayton reported nearly 30 consecutive years of increased profit, and founded the industry’s premier financial institution, servicing $5 billion in manufactured home mortgages.
On the board of the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Jim Clayton, a sharecropper’s son, grew up on a tiny Tennessee cotton farm in a log cabin with no electricity or running water. From those humble beginnings, he would one day become a Great American Success Story, and a perennial member of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans.
Jim Clayton’s biography “First A Dream” is filled with practical, easy-to-understand, no-nonsense business lessons that the entrepreneur can apply to his or her own life - describing the qualities an effective leader must possess, the key methods to inspiring team members, and the development of culture and values that are critical to the success of a small business as well as a multibillion dollar conglomerate.
But most of all, it’s a story about a boy growing up in the Tennessee cotton fields who had a dream - and lived it.
Jim Clayton is Founder and Chairman of Clayton Homes, Inc. He retired as CEO after 43 years in 1999. Acquiring a small bank in 1993, he transformed it into an $800 million regional powerhouse before merging it with BB&T in 2000
