A native of Oregon, Clint enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 17 and shipped out to Naval boot camp (now closed) in Orlando, Florida, in December of 1990. After boot camp, he attended the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Power School in Orlando and specialized in nuclear and mechanical engineering. After almost two years of nuclear engineering training, he joined the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and served his remaining four years on a Los Angeles fast attack submarine, U.S.S. Honolulu SSN-718. In the years following his military service, he has worked for Hewlett-Packard in a maintenance and engineering support role and then as a licensed insurance agent for State Farm and Farmers insurance. Clint got the boating bug while living in Texas and started sailing and racing sailboats competitively, nearly 40 weekends per year for many a year. He has been a Catalina 22 Texas State Champion four times and won his first Catalina 22 National Championship in 2018. He and his wife recently relocated from Texas to St. Petersburg, Florida, to expand their sailing and boating passion into the Gulf and Caribbean. Sailing may be Clint’s passion, but he loves boats of all types.
