Hi. I’m Clark.

Hi, I’m Clark. Well—technically, I’m Chris Clark, but most people just call me Clark. Thanks for stopping by. This is my first go at a “personal-professional” blog, and honestly, it feels long overdue. I’ve always wanted a place to share my story and how the twists, turns, and occasional creative detours have helped shape who I am today. So… here I am.

I’m a marketing and communications professional based in the Kansas City metro area, and my career has been anything but boring. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked across public and private sectors and inside organizations ranging from large corporations to scrappy start-ups.
