Clint moved to Hood River in 1991 to windsurf with more regularity, and build and remodel homes for a living. He has a degree in visual communication from Montana State University, and completed his pre-med science education at Portland State University.

He retired from residential contracting to return to school and receive his doctorate in physical therapy, which he earned from Oregon’s Pacific University in 2008. Clint has begun developing a successful career in the clinic since then, and is pursuing further education via the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.

His background includes competitive ski and bicycle racing, bicycle touring, windsurfing, snowboarding, and ranking by Skiing Magazine as one of the best 100 ski instructors in North America. He has skied from the peaks of Mt Hood, Mt Adams, and Mt St Helens, and regularly rides all the local mountain bike trails.
