After joining the Royal Navy at the Rank of Lieutenant in 1996, Jay became embroiled in the world of theatre assisting the long-standing Royal Navy Theatre Association. After staging a number of productions, he was called upon to rescue a Naval theatre with severe financial problems. This prevented the normal routine of purchasing rights or producing any period play or a play with costumes that would have to be rented. As a result, Jay wrote, directed and stared in Prime Directive which was entered into a GoDA theatre festival. The GoDA adjudicator awarded Jay the prize for Best Original Stage Play and advised him that it had commercial potential. Spurred on by this encouragement, Jay called upon his personal experiences and wrote Denim to much critical acclaim notably the award of Production of the Year in the Daily Echos Curtain call awards. Still writing and gaining productions, Jay has been promoted to the Rank of Lieutenant Commander, has become a Committee member of the Royal Navy Theatre Association and resides in Portsmouth with his wife and two children.
