Mike Clark

Mike gets great satisfaction in helping clients find and solve their performance pain points. Helping a client speed up their environment brings a smile to his face at the close of his day.

Mike joins Straight Path Solutions after 20+ years of working for Fortune 100 companies and Silicon Valley startups. He was drawn to database early in his career as a way to get involved in key projects that solved critical business needs. This has continued to grow and he enjoys working in cross-functional teams on high demand mission-critical systems.

Mike began working with SQL Server in 2001 after the company he was working at had acquired a company that used analysis services and the rest is history. He grew into database administration roles, database architect roles, and performance tuning roles. He loves to help systems run faster and build business continuity solutions. He has been a contributing member of the SQL Server Community since early 2004 and a PASS Virtual Chapter Leader since 2006.

When Mike isn’t helping folks with their databases – he can be found working with High at Risk young men aging out of the Foster Care System.
