Clarence Matthews

I was born and raised in Franklin, Louisiana...a stone’s throw away from New Orleans. When I graduated high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I wanted to serve my country. I joined the United States Army, and saw most of Europe and Southeast Asia while I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. Even though I had trained as a Med Tech in the Army, when I was stateside again, I decided to join the Military Police. That decision changed the entire direction of my life. I’ve held both Public and Private Sector Law Enforcement and Security Positions, including Chief Deputy Marshal in Franklin, Louisana's Third Ward Pre-Hurricane Katrina. My best gig ever? I worked as the Deputy Field Organizer (OFA) in Central Florida during the 2012 Presidential Election. My second best gig ever? I was a Security Consultant for the 2012 Super Bowl at the Lucas Oil Stadium in my adopted hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.
