Clark served his country with honor in the US Army with the HQ Co, 2nd BN, USAISDSB, TRADOC in Germany where he learned many job skills and to speak German. He worked for 31 years at Subaru in the Stamping Department. He spoke Japanese which made it easier to talk with the Japanese employees. He retired in January of 2020.
