Meet Our Co-Founders

Adam and Clark are two passionate individuals who have a vision for being of service to young adults during the life changing journey of college. Both of them were inspired by their own journeys and experiences. Adam’s struggle with mental health and substance abuse led to an unorthodox educational journey, while Clark’s struggles after college led them to develop programs to help others. Together they are committed to providing young adults with the necessary tools and support to help them succeed, based on their own personal and professional experience. Their program of education and support helps these young students truly see What Good Looks Like.
