Clark has been supporting people with disabilities since 1981. He joined Saratoga Bridges in 1998 and has worked in a variety of capacities including Assistant and Residential Manager. He says that he has taken advantage of many of the benefits offered by the agency — primarily tuition assistance and scholarships – that have assisted him in obtaining a Bachelor’s degree. Clark joined the Training Department in 2006 as Staff Development Specialist and is looking forward to the challenges the Staff Development Coordinator position will present.
