Clint was born and raised in a working class family in Lancaster, PA, to parents Susan and Allen. He did not attend University, but instead joined the workforce as a manual laborer while still in high school. He held various physically demanding jobs, including a UPS tractor trailer loader, a cabinet setter, mason tender, and carpenter’s assistant.

When he was 26 he ventured out on a bicycle and traveled the country or a year, returning a changed person. He met his future wife and they became nomadic, even as they had their child. After eight years, they settled in New Mexico to pursue the arts in the film industry.

He discovered acting and before he had an agent, auditioned and booked a unique role on NBC’s “The Night Shift”.

While being a stay at home dad for two daughters, he dedicated himself to acting professionally, and joined SAG a year later.

Clint’s strengths include an emotional vulnerability, and ability to elevate the material into very real moments with his scene partners.
