Bob Clay began as a teacher in 1971 after receiving a B.A. in Education from Glenville State College. Always seeking to expand his repertoire, Clay subsequently became a West Virginia State Trooper. He continued working as a trooper until he retired in 1992. He briefly returned to the teaching field after taking a sabbatical with his family in Texas during early 1993.

          After returning to West Virginia, Clay then undertook a challenging new career not only as a private investigator, but also as an entrepreneur. His passion for justice led him to embark on a new journey. The Agency was started in 1993 and has continued to expand since its launch. Today there is an array of services offered, including the most recent addition to the list, polygraph examinations.
