Cliff was born and raised in the Central Valley. Cliff lived in Turlock as a young child, but Cliff's family relocated to Ripon when Cliff was in the fourth grade. Both of Cliff's parents come from Diary Farm families, so growing up they instilled the value of hard work to Cliff and Cliff's 3 younger siblings.
In spite of being recruited by several colleges after a successful high school football career, Cliff ultimately chose to serve Cliff's country and joined the US Navy. Cliff had the honor of serving aboard the USS Sacramento AOE-1 and did two tours of duty in Asia during the Vietnam conflict. After the Military, Cliff was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play football for Utah State, but after a brief time in Utah, Cliff decided to return to the Central Valley to start a career.
Connie & Cliff met at Cliff's first sales job. Cliff sold Appliances, TV’s, & Stereos for Kmart and later was promoted to the Appliance Department Manager. Connie and Cliff married in 1979. In order to support a family, Cliff decided to attain Cliff's insurance license. Cliff began a career in the insurance world and eventually became the proud owner of an Allstate Insurance agency in Manteca. After 28 prosperous years, Cliff sold the company to a larger agency in 2009.
Cliff's insurance agency was built in connection with many Realtors. After all, every house sold needed a policy to protect them. Finally, Cliff decided to pursue a career in Real Estate. Cliff loves and is passionate about helping others, which has only grown stronger as Cliff's career in Real Estate prospered.
In Cliff's spare time, Cliff rides an Adventure Touring Bike. Cliff has ridden motorcycles since Cliff was 14 years old and has been a member of the AMA (American Motorcycle Association) for over 10 years. Cliff's farthest ride was to Salt Lake City, to the Miller Sports Park on Memorial Day to watch the World Superbike Race. Cliff also enjoys fishing in the mountain streams and lakes, target practicing and shooting clay pigeons at the Escalon Sportsman Club.
As a proud and active resident of this community, Cliff is a member of the Morning Rotary Club, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ripon Grace Church. Cliff also volunteers at Interfaith Ministries where they distribute food and clothing to those in need each month.
