He has a passion for motivating the team to help people take control of their futures. It’s not just about your money at GCES, it’s about helping you achieve Health, Wealth AND Happiness, that lasts.

Voted most talkative in high school, Clint cultivates a culture of incredible growth at GCES that radiates out to our team, clients, and our community. His initiatives like Transcendental Meditation, wellness retreats, and on-the-clock volunteer time foster wellbeing for GCES and Indiana as a whole. He is always working on a new project, whether it’s co-authoring ‘The Story of Carl and Barb’ with Galen, starring in our TV show ‘Our2Cents’, or building our own podcast, ‘More than Money’!

When he’s not in the office working and jamming to club music, you’re most likely to find him at a board meeting, volunteering his time, or spearheading a new campaign for a local non-profit. Clint’s philanthropic nature is an incredible creative outlet for him, having served on the boards of the United Way of Indiana County, Alice Paul House, and 2 terms at the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce. He currently serves on the board of the Indiana County Humane Society and the Chamber of Commerce. As United Way campaign chairman in both 2019 and 2024, Clint helped lead major fundraising efforts—most notably, his 2025 campaign raised the highest total in the organization’s history! Awarded PA Business Centrals Foremost under 40 in 2021 and 2023 and Top 100 people in Business in 2025 and 2026, Clint has a proven track record of financial wellness that is constantly evolving.

As the self proclaimed “personality hire” Clint levels out the serious nature of the retirement business with his competitive energy and wit. He and Galen are like yin and yang in their professional and personal life, balancing one another’s energy. Clint loves to travel, and his biggest dream is to go into space before he dies. A proud Costco executive member, Clint enjoys spending his free time cooking with Galen and is a devoted dog dad.
