Clayton DeHaas

Associate Advisor

I graduated from Boise State in 2022, and since then I’ve worked for a few financial management companies – both big and small. Those experiences helped me understand what I value: Client relationships rather than sales pitches. That realization led me to R|W, where I believe I can truly thrive and grow while working alongside members of a team that share my values.

My degree from BSU is in communications, which some people might say doesn’t align with a career in finance. But I think it’s important in any field to be able to talk to people and develop relationships with them. R|W values those qualities, and so do I.

Speaking of shared values, I recently got engaged to my girlfriend, Payton. Thankfully, we share a lot more in common than names that rhyme!

I grew up swimming competitively, starting when I was 6 years old. I swam at the varsity level for four years at Eagle High School and was the team captain my senior year. My competitive swimming days are behind me, but I still find my way to a pool about three times a week (I just need to remember I’m not trying to break records anymore). I’m also an artist and my main hobby is creating comic book art.
