Founding Members

Leadership through the Years

With a Marine Corps background and a dedication to hard work, Read Clark was an excellent leader who took great pride in the company and all of his employees. The culture of "ClarkPowell Family" is a cornerstone of our success and remains solidly in place today. 

An employee of ClarkPowell almost since the beginning, Read’s daughter Stephanie (Clark) Bluhm took over the presidency in 2010.  Stephanie led with wisdom, sensibility and a dedication to the success of ClarkPowell.
