CaliforniaChoice^®, a groundbreaking enterprise empowering small business employees to select from multiple health plans within one program, was launched in 1996.

He graduated from California State University, Chico, with a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Computer Science. Clinton is a Certified Public Accountant and licensed Life and Health Agent in California.

He also oversees Information Technology, Marketing, and Strategic Business Development. Before joining The Word & Brown Companies, Clinton was a Vice President at several insurance organizations, including Nationwide Insurance Companies, CalFarm Insurance Company, and Foundation Health Plans. Clinton is a member of the American Institute of Public Accountants, the California Association of Certified Public Accountants, and the National Association of Health Underwriters.
