Cliff grew up in New Franklin, OH. He was born in PA but at the early age of 4 years old, he and his family moved to Franklin and never left. He grew up in a stable home with two younger sisters. He has always been ambitious and he graduated with honors from both is high school and Ohio State. After graduation he became a biologist for the Department of Agricultural and worked closely at building viable wildlife habitats. Cliff adopted a two week old kitten and bottle fed him. He tried for weeks to think of a name for his new companion, but it wasn't until that fateful day when Crash jumped from his shoulders and tumbled down the stairs that Cliff KNEW what to name him. In truth Crash named himself.  Cliff and Crash were companions for over 13 years. Cliff adored him and took very good care of Crash.  When Crash was 8 years old he developed COPD. Cliff did an amazing job being his caretaker. Crash needed medication on a daily basis. The medication was very bitter, yet Crash would take it.  However he would only take it from Cliff. They had a very special bond. On April 9 2020, Crash's COPD overtook his health and he died in Cliff loving arms.  Cliff is a nurturing, caring, and gentle care taker. I am blessed to have him come along side of me and help me with my dogs and their puppies.
