Clifford grew up in Arizona, fishing and hunting the Rim since he could walk. Roosevelt Lake was like a second home to him, and it’s where he developed a passion for the outdoors.

After graduating college in northern Arizona, Clifford pursued fishing on a professional level, participating in local tournaments and then moving on to regional events. He soon made his way into pro-level competitions, where he competed on the FLW Tour, US Open, and Bassmaster Elite Series.

Clifford has amassed multiple championship wins over the course of his career, and continues to fight for more titles as a top-level competitor.
