Paul Clark

A graduate of the Machinist program in 2008, Paul Clark is a successful entrepreneur and businessman with a green thumb. After graduating from Alexander Mackenzie High School in Richmond Hill, Ont. in 1996, Clark spent 11 years working at golf courses and country clubs including Meadowbrook Golf and Country Club in Gormley, Ont., fulfilling duties as a back shop and pro shop technician and golf course maintenance. In 2003, while working as a welder with Clarke Industries, he met Joe Szarka, then owner of Eagle Machining Incorporated. Szarka encouraged Clark’s interest in machining and he soon began an apprenticeship at Eagle Machining Inc. Following his graduation from Durham College, Clark worked at Eagle Machining Inc. for three years, eventually becoming a Red Seal certified machinist, at which time he and his co-worker, Zbig Bloch were given the opportunity to buy the business and operate it as their own. Clark is now a 50 per cent owner and operator of Eagle Machining Inc. where they repair and refurbish machine parts and also offer welding and fabricating services
