Clark is the CEO of WildWorks Inc. and has over 25 years of
experience in video game development.
.
His company’s online playground blends social gameplay with
STEAM-focused educational content developed in partnership with
major research institutions.
.
Animal Jam has grown to become the world’s largest MMO game for
kids, connecting over 120 million young players worldwide.
.
WildWorks employs 90 developers and support staff at their Salt
Lake City and Manila studio locations.
.
Mr. Stacey was pursuing a career in academia when his passion for
technology, storytelling, and blowing stuff up drew him to game
development in 1992.
.
He began his career in interactive entertainment with Beyond Games,
where he contributed to a decade of successful titles, including
Redline, Motor Mayhem, Hot Wheels: Velocity X, and many more… all
of which were themed overwhelmingly around blowing stuff up.
.
He co-founded WildWorks in 2003 with a commitment to bringing the
production quality of triple-A games to kid’s digital
entertainment.
.
The result is what WildWorks calls “fun with substance” -- games
that entertain while nurturing curiosity about science and the
natural world.
.
In 2015 he also co-founded the Utah Digital Entertainment Network,
a non-profit trade organization connecting digital media
entrepreneurs to resources and mentoring, and promoting Utah as an
international hub for digital entertainment development.

Clark shows you how to make millions in video game development!
