I am a lifelong resident of St. Charles Parish and quite frankly, never want to live anywhere else.  I love it here!  After graduating from Hahnville High School I attended Louisiana State University and the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

I never gave up on my goal of graduating from college and in 2006, after attending night classes for 4 years was awarded my degree from the University of Phoenix in business management with a project management certification.  I am a participant in the Texas A&M Total Quality Management Program and have been certified by the American Society of Quality Control as a Business System Manager.

As an employee of Motiva Enterprises at the Norco Refinery Complex, I serve as a reliability specialist, identifying and mitigating chronic equipment problems.  I serve on the Emergency Response Team, Hazardous Material Team and the Confined Space Rescue Team.  Motiva graciously allowed me the opportunity to serve as the area’s first loaned executive to United Way, participating in the 2006 successful campaign. I will serve as the 2007 United Way Campaign Co-chairman and the Motiva United Way committee.

I am a member of the 2001 class of the New Orleans Regional Leadership Institute in which area leaders participate in a yearlong project to explore strengths and weaknesses in our region.

I am committed to community service, having held leadership roles in the St. Charles Business Association, St. Charles Recreation, St. Charles Soccer Association and St. Charles Farm Bureau.  As a soccer coach of 15 years and board member of the West St. Charles Soccer League, I helped grow the organization into the St. Charles Soccer Association, allowing children parishwide to enjoy the sport and learn lifelong lessons of teamwork.  I am a member of St Anthony Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus Council #2409 and a board member of the United Way of St Charles.

As an active member of the River Region Caucus, an organization that promotes the sharing of ideas by St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. James and Ascension Parishes, I serve on the operations, maintenance and contract management, legislative, contract/finance and the administrative and special projects committees. 

I am also a member of the South Central Solid Waste Committee, exploring avenues for waste disposal for the next twenty years.

My wife of 27 years, Deirdre Schexnayder Faucheux and I reside at 140 North Oak Court in Luling.  We have two sons; Clayton III, who relocated to Virginia after Hurricane Katrina and Cory who lives in Destrehan.  Both are graduates of Destrehan High School.
