Hi, I'm Clark. I'm on my 48th trip around the sun, having lived my entire life along the IL/WI border. I'm married to my best friend, fantastic wife, and business partner, and we share the joys of raising two kids, Ethan and Addison.
Historically trained software developer, architect, and product manager, I've managed to fool companies such as Allstate, Microsoft, and Telerik to let this crazy passionate, entrepreneurial, "see only limitless opportunities" of a person work for them. My wife and I have founded two companies, THAT Conference and Unspecified.
I fell backward into software development because computers help people scale. It's my love for people and helping one another that's led me to a life of building products that build communities. It's my mission to create software that connects people in a more profound and meaningful way.
Today, THAT Conference is one of the largest Family Friendly Technology Conferences. During the pandemic, we created a SAAS platform to connect geeks across the globe. Unspecified is our boutique software development company. We use our extensive enterprise application skills to help small businesses build software to improve their business.
Regardless of titles, I will always call myself a practitioner.
