Clark started his career with multidisciplinary design firm Baskervill more than 25 years ago, following a five-year stint in the U.S. Air Force, and was named Baskervill’s president in 2004. The company has projects under development in 18 states and six countries. Recent projects include the Virginia Commonwealth University Engineering Research Building and the Hearth memorial to enslaved workers at William & Mary.
Clark says he lives by these words: “There are two things no one can take from you — your honor and your education.”
He is a past chair of the Virginia Council of CEOs and a member of the executive leadership team for the Greater Richmond American Heart Association’s Richmond Heart Ball.
EDUCATION: Virginia Military Institute (bachelor’s degree), William & Mary (MBA)
FIRST JOB: My first job after college was as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, working on large-scale design and construction projects at various military installations worldwide.
FAVORITE SONG: “Rock and Roll,” by Led Zeppelin. The opening is so uniquely distinctive and not to be mistaken for any other song.
