Clif’s “first” career was in advertising and marketing, including President/Partner of Stamford, CT-based North Castle Communications, which focused on youth marketing. Clif’s long-time interest in mentoring and coaching inspired his creation of Future 5, which he founded in March, 2009 as a non-profit dedicated to connecting “disconnected”, low-income high school students to positive futures. Future 5, which was a program of Domus from 2011-2013, has grown to a membership of 100+ students.

Clif is a 1971 graduate of Trinity College in Hartford, CT.
