About Clark
Biography: The Ongoing Adventure
Partway through June of the Summer of '85, Clark found himself naked and crying in a strange, cold world. Little to his liking, he soon discovered that living on Earth was not so pleasant as he had hoped. Billions of people everywhere, struggling to survive themselves, were taking up all the space. So early in his life, Clark decided to become a man of nature, to seclude himself in the wilderness and live in harmony with the Earth.
Like so many other childhood whims, this decision soon became apparently ridiculous, and Clark simply began his journey into life normally. He started in Austin, Texas, at a time when there were less than a million people in that city. At age three, his family moved him north to Dallas where he started a bit of schooling. After a short stretch of a year or so, and without consulting him, Clark's family moved to Odessa. There he continued his education, completing another year of pre-grade-school training. When his father enrolled in law school at Texas Tech University, the family moved once more to Lubbock, TX, and Clark started first grade in the Lubbock Independent School District.
On the whole, his grade school education was a success. He attended Haynes Elementary, Trinity Christian, Mackenzie Junior High, and Lubbock High School. He made many friends and good memories, and in the end graduated ninth in his class as a National Merit Scholar and Eagle Scout. For more on his education, see the Résumé.
Clark now attends the prestigious Texas A&M University in College Station. He enjoys spending his time doing independent research in his many areas of interest, building websites, and longboarding around campus. Clark seems to think that a graduate degree in Aerospace Engineering is a good thing to pursue, so he's doing just that.
His graduate studies include cooperative control, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. He is studying under Dr. Johnny Hurtado and Dr. John Valasek at Texas A&M.
