Who Am I?

Cliff moved to the stunning Oregon coast in 1995, having retired from a successful career at the Boulder, CO Fire Department in April of that year.  Boulder had changed dramatically since he and wife Mary moved there in 1966, and he felt it just wasn’t a ‘nice’ place to live anymore.  And besides, since Cliff grew up near Cape Cod he wanted to get back to living near the ocean.  Having visited his sister in Lakeside, OR – having to pass through Florence each time he did – he soon discovered that Florence fit the bill!

Arriving in Florence on June 1, 1995, he settled into their home on Willow Street.  But all too soon it became apparent that he needed more room to work on his fire protection consulting business and various other projects, so he sought a place to build his dream home.

He found such a place at Southview.

He purchased a little slice of heaven (lot #6, 90790 Southview Lane) in February of 1997, and began clearing the land in April of that year.  Moving into the dream home in March of 1998 along with their two dogs, he set out to be a good neighbor and to enhance and increase the beauty and security of the neighborhood.  He became involved in the governance of the Southview Homeowner’s Association even before the home was complete, ultimately serving five terms as the President of that organization, and he continues to work on his projects and stay involved in the business of keeping Southview a pristine place to call home.
