I have known Cliff for many decades both personally and in the business world. Words that come to mind in describing Cliff have to do with his passion and life’s purpose. He is principled, focused, family first, humble, physically fit, ethical, value driven, intellectual with business savvy, forward thinking, and faith filled. He has touched my life and the lives of others in so many positive ways. He is one great person with much to share. He is a person that if in a fight I would want in my Foxhole.
