About Clements
1992: Clements graduated from the University of Rochester with a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) concentrating in finance. Because of his academic achievement as an undergraduate he was accepted into graduate business school after only 3 years of undergraduate study. Therefore he received a BA in Economics and an MBA in finance after only five years.
1993: Clements started the American Venture Capital Exchange, the nation's first online service to help people starting businesses to find financing. This revolutionary new service was written up in the Wall Street Journal, Inc. Magazine and many other publications.
1997: Clements launches a national business magazine for people starting businesses and those who invest in them. Called American Venture this magazine features inspiring stories of entrepreneurs overcoming the odds and revealing insights on how investors choose companies.
2001 November: Clements sells American Venture magazine in order to develop a television newsmagazine similar in style to 60 Minutes which will expose bad government and brave freedom seekers taking a stand against it. The new owners still publish American Venture in Silicon Valley.
2002 Clements moves from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles to develop FreeNation TV. You can watch a 15 minute demonstration episode at www.FreeNation.TV.
2003 Clements announces his candidacy for Governor of California and his reason for running in his Candidate Statement in the Official Voter Information Guide (reproduced below).
Atlas Shrugged, America's second most influential book, was written by an immigrant to California who predicted our current mess and offered an inspiring solution. Ayn Rand knew that big government ruins all it touches while freedom leads to incredible prosperity. I know, as did she, that the economy will roar to life if we liberate it from excessive taxation and abusive regulation. See the work of freedom in grocery stores filled with food, hospitals filled with lifesaving technology, and a computer industry filled with innovation. See the work of big government in power blackouts, failing schools and traffic jams. The more important the task the more reason it should be handled by resourceful companies motivated by profit, not bumbling politicians motivated by power. California needs a businessperson for Governor who clearly sees the path to prosperity and has the willpower to lead us out of this mess. I launched a national business magazine called American Venture which I later sold to develop a revolutionary TV show called FreeNation. I have a master's degree in business and a bachelor's degree in economics. I'm a long-shot candidate but like the horse Seabiscuit sometimes the long-shot can win. Watch me in action at www.FreeNation.TV. You can vote for a "big" candidate for small change or a "small" candidate for big change. Vote for big change, vote for better ideas over fame and money, vote Clements for Governor.
