<span style="color: #000000;">Like several other key RSS Leadership Team members, Clifton was perused by RSS for several years because of his success as an entrepreneur in the home furnishings industry. After graduating from Huntington College in Indiana he went to work in corporate America where he became a national accounts manager for a consumer based products company but not being satisfied, changed paths to both become an entrepreneur and to bolster his education. Clifton started his own specialized mattress retail business in Indiana and while building it began taking graduate level classes at Purdue University in both Philosophy and Philanthropy. He successfully built his company PillowTops using and perfecting a very specialized methodology for setting up a unique type of retail mattress business. That business grew to some twenty locations with his own personal location doing over $10 million in sales since its inception. It was that success which caught RSS’s attention and ultimately lead to RSS buying PillowTops in late 2016 thus adding Clifton and the PillowTops business to our ever-growing Leadership Team and portfolio of RSS brands and programs. Clifton and his wife love to travel with their children and Clifton personally loves the outdoors as an avid outdoor enthusiast.</span>
