Growing up on the Northern Neck, Mr. Clift spent a lot of my time outdoors looking for sharks’ teeth, kayaking, and fishing. He attended Longwood University and received a bachelor’s degree in integrated environmental science. While at Longwood, he participated in research projects studying water quality at Hull Springs Farm in Westmoreland. After a brief stint as a wastewater treatment plant operator, he went to grad school at Auburn University to study Paleolimnology. He worked for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality writing Total Maximum Daily Loads (pollution diets) for rivers and streams throughout the state of Montana. He is excited to share what he has learned throughout his career in water quality and environmental science with the students at CBGS.
Mr. Clift is married and he enjoys hiking and spending time outdoors with his wife.
