Clive grew up on the Islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean where he was exposed to a variety of cuisines including Chinese, East Indian, Creole, Spanish, French, and British. After migrating to New York City, he eventually made his way to the Pacific Northwest where he worked for some of Seattle's most iconic restaurants, including Ray's Boathouse, The Metropolitan Grill, Ruth's Chris Steak House, Tom Douglas Catering, Capital Grille, Matt's Rotisserie, and 190 Sunset.
