Jason Clark, Executive Director & Founder(Yes, the photo's a few years old — between family, building Haven Harbor, and a day job, fresh headshots keep losing the priority battle. New family photos coming soon.)
A calling that wouldn't let go.
Some of the clearest moments of my life have come on the back of a Harley. Riding is my meditation — and even back in my twenties, out on the open road, I knew I wanted to spend my life helping people. I built a career in worldwide logistics, but I always felt I wasn't yet following my true calling.
The turning point came through family. When Therese and I traveled to Burkina Faso to visit her family in Ouagadougou, I saw firsthand what conflict and poverty do to children — and how many are left with no one. This time, I didn't just hear the calling. I answered it.
Five years of quiet, self-funded groundwork later, Haven Harbor Heritage is real: three properties secured, 501(c)(3) status granted, and a promise to every child we will serve — you are safe here.
