He attended John Wood Community College in Quincy, Illinois before transferring to Iowa State University to major in Agriculture Education-Communications. During his tenure at Iowa State, Cliff interned at GROWMARK as the Corporate Communications and Marketing Services Intern. After graduating from Iowa State with his Bachelors of Science, Cliff worked in a few different locations for a few different organizations. In 2013, Cliff was invited to join GROWMARK once again and so he rejoined GROWMARK’s communications team as the Corporate Strategic Development Manager. Most recently, Cliff was named the Digital Communications & PR Manager. In this role, Cliff manages GROWMARK’s online presence through both traditional websites and in social media as well as overseeing their public relations strategy.
