But Clint’s desire to serve was deep and firmly rooted. He left the NFL to pursue becoming a Navy SEAL and successfully competed BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL Training) in 1998 with Class 217. Joining SEAL Team FIVE, Clint completed multiple deployments pre and post-911 directly involved in counter-terrorism and national security missions globally.
After leaving the Navy, Clint has founded two companies and one foundation. TRG is a trusted advisor on security, safety, crisis response, and training to business and agencies across the United States. HoldFast is a leadership and team development company featuring transitioning veterans as speakers and performance coaches. And Carry the Load (now led by another Navy grad and Former SEAL - Stephen Holley) was founded to restore true meaning to Memorial Day and celebrate the service and sacrifice of Police, Fire, and Rescue personnel and their families during the month of May.
