A true builder is someone who not only builds buildings, but also builds culture and community. Dave Clark was a true builder.

In the late 1970s, Dave Clark teamed up with B.J. Sullivan to establish what we now know to be Clark/Sullivan Construction (C/S). As a co-founder, it was one of Dave’s priorities to establish the team’s company culture and identity, turning C/S into “The Partner to Build With” that it is known for being today. This teamwork and partnership mentality is what Dave exemplified every day and something we are eternally grateful for, as it is now firmly at the core of our company beliefs. Although Dave retired from C/S in the early 2000s, his influence and impact remain firmly engrained.

Today, C/S continues to be one of the leading general contractors in northern Nevada and northern California. Over the years, C/S has built over 350 schools, the majority of which were completed while Dave was with C/S. Dave’s lasting impact is felt in each and every one of our school projects, including the new Hug High School campus, shown in the video below.

Our success is thanks to this foundation that Dave played such a key role in establishing and the culture we’ve continued to grow as a result of his influence and efforts. We would like to pay tribute to Dave Clark for everything he has done not only for C/S but the entire community. We send our condolences to Sue Clark and the entire Clark Family.
