After earning a bachelor’s degree in government from Harvard University cured him of having ambitions in politics, Cliff spent a decade in New York City managing rock bands. When he met his dynamo wife Stephanie (2017 TEDx host), Cliff’s life purpose gained clarity. For the past two decades, since returning to his home state, Cliff has been IT director at Ocean Properties Hotels. He has also served Portsmouth for two terms on the City Council (which cured him of having ambitions in politics, for real this time). Cliff’s desert island must-haves include daughters Katy and Sophie, George the cat, music, and pickleball.
