At 18 years old, Cliff enlisted in the Coast Guard where he served for four years. He left the military to join the Federal Bureau of Prisons, he was a SWAT Team Leader, among many roles. He worked there for 13 years, up to his accident in 2011. Cliff was on motocross and crashed off a jump, bursting his L1 vertebrae and rendering him in a wheelchair.
Shortly after his accident, Cliff began working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and discovered sled hockey. 10 years later, he is Captain and Team President of the Dallas Sled Stars and still works full-time with the FBI.
After a hiatus during the pandemic, sled hockey is beginning to pick up again and Clint is using his time at ATF to increase his overall level of fitness and stamina as well as gain techniques to be a force multiplier and share with his teammates. His hope is this opportunity will help elevate himself as an athlete, allowing him to better lead his team when they’re back on the ice.
