Lisa Clark

Lisa Clark grew up in motion. The daughter of an athletic, hands-on father, she spent childhood weekends at gyms and in garages, first as a dedicated gymnast, then as the kid who wanted to know how every engine fit back together. That early mix of discipline and curiosity shaped everything that followed. At Arizona State University she studied psychology with a minor in nutrition, planning a career in sports psychology. When ASU’s new sports-medicine track lost funding, she pivoted, finished her Psychology degree, and took her understanding of mindset into real life rather than a clinic.

Life steered her first into entrepreneurship. After putting herself through college and graduating, she met her then husband who was already in real estate, where they partnered and she helped build and sell a company, and then focused on raising her two daughters.

The through-line, speed, mechanics, possibility never left. A formative moment came when she and her father rebuilt a non-running Jeep together; later, a college dirt-bike accident led to a small insurance settlement that funded her first Porsche. She joined the local Porsche Club, learned the rhythms of autocross, and discovered how much joy there is in shaving tenths off a lap through cones in an empty lot.
