You may recognize Troy McClain as a finalist from the first season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice”. However, his business skills have been in play long before that. Born in Alaska and raised in Montana by a single mother, along with his two sisters, Troy quickly learned the meaning of hard work and sacrifice. 

Troy later applied these lessons to his business ventures. Having built up and sold two separate companies to national organizations, Troy understands the meaning of sacrifice, how to deal with changes in the market, and how to push through barriers to achieve greatness. He has been highlighted in such publications as USA Today, Fast Company, Success Magazine and many more. 

He has achieved awards such as; the Forty Under 40 Award, The Better Business Bureau "Integrity Counts" Award and a High Honors Gold Medal from the International Special Olympics Committee for his dedication and service to the special needs community to name a few. When Troy is not traveling for his hosting and speaking events, he is actively giving back to his community, holding board level seats with several non-profits focused on making positive changes in the lives of children around the globe.
