Mr. Clark originally became associated with the Oxbow companies in October 1989.

Since that time he has been actively involved in the negotiation of most major Oxbow Carbon acquisition, sale and financing transactions.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Clark served as in-house counsel to Hadson Power Systems Incorporated, a publicly-traded independent power developer based in Irvine, California.

He also served eleven years on the city council of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, including one year as its mayor.
Mr. Clark is licensed to practice law in Florida, California and Colorado.
