Clint grew up in Florida surrounded by all sorts of animals, from the alligators and manatees in its rivers to the sharks and dolphins in its seas. Clint's family instilled in him a deep appreciation for the wildlife and pets that were regularly friends and sources of beauty. He never realized though, how law could play such a massive role in the preservation and protection of these animals until last year here at UC Davis. Recently, Clint was lucky enough to attend the 2017 ALDF Symposium in LA, and grew ever more inspired and driven to learn more about how we as prospective lawyers can utilize the legal system in advancing animal rights and in supporting the beautiful creatures of this world.
