Clark is an Atlanta native who has always been very involved in improving his community. He has started several civic programs, such as Atlanta Volunteer Action, Volunteer Action, Inc., The Big Buddy Program and Career Action. In 1993 he opened the "Team Clark Howard" volunteer center, an advice service for consumer questions staffed by more than 140 volunteers. With the help of his listeners, he has built 23 homes in and around Atlanta for Habitat for Humanity.

He's also a member of the Georgia State Defense Force. He joined after the terrorist attacks of 2001, to do his part in helping to prepare and assist our military. He attends monthly training workshops around the state as part of his service. In 1981, Clark founded a travel agency that he built into a very successful chain with locations across metro Atlanta. He sold the company in 1987 at 31 years old and retired.

He found his way into public life almost by accident. While he was living the life of leisure, he was asked to be a guest on a radio show about travel. Clark's new career just appeared out of nowhere.

Clark is married and has two daughters and a son. The family lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
