Shorty put his education and drive to work in the high-end lithography business for 39 years. Together with his wife of 50+ years they have raised 3 children who account for 9 grandchildren. Shorty and Becky (she Is co-founder of “Sisters on the Fly”) moved from Laguna Beach, California to McCall, Idaho in 1998. The Clarkes now reside in the East End Warm Springs area.

It is this commitment to public service that drives Shorty to help those who may be new to Idaho or to Boise to find their place in our community.
