Clint grew up in Mobile and graduated from Baker High School in 1961. After high school he began work at Scott Paper Co. in Mobile, Ala. and worked there for 22 years. Looking for a laid back country atmosphere, Clint moved to Jayess where he opened and ran a full service gas station for 10 plus years and then became an employee of Mississippi Department of Transportation before retiring.

Upon officially retiring, Clint pursued his dream of becoming a cattle farmer, and became very good at it.
