Cliff was raised in New England among a family of dedicated entrepreneurs. Inspired from a young age to pursue the path of entrepreneurship, he studied International Business and Economics at Ohio Wesleyan University. Following his graduation in 1983, Cliff worked for eight years as a sales and marketing executive in the hotel industry where he learned to manage teams and multi-million dollar marketing budgets for luxury corporate hotels and destination resorts.

In 1991 he decided to pursue a more entrepreneurial path and proceeded to build and sell three books of business as a financial consultant.
