BIO

John “Yankee” Clark was born on Second Avenue in Atlanta, GA also known as Decatur in 1971. Reared on Warren Street in Kirkwood until the age of six, his family relocated to DeKalb County on Stockbridge Drive off of Bouldercrest Road.

Due to an intricate childhood, Mr. Clark was exposed to several elements, but these elements of adversity have formed an admirable leader and entrepreneur. While being exposed to various communities, individuals, and institutions several incidences could have affected his very livelihood. Through the course of his rigorous adolescent and early adult years, Yankee continued to dream of building an empire. What others may have been devastated by, having to serve five years in the Georgia State Prison, Yankee perceived this opportunity to make his dreams a reality. Implementation began immediately, by educating himself and obtaining his GED. Yankee excelled above his peers, receiving a certificate with exceptionable scores within four month into his sentence. Driven and goal oriented despite his surroundings, Yankee began to research his area of expertise “Marketing and Advertisement”. Yankee took advantage of the libraries- law and general, gaining knowledge for a solid foundation. Often times Yankee would manipulate the system to visit the libraries. One visit per week was allotted, but Yankee would visit over three times a week. Once read in a very influential book- the bible, Apostle Paul stated a man respects a man who steals to feed himself when he is hungry. And Yankee was hungry for success! Not only was Yankee fortunate to be able to set the wheels in motion, but met several suave and intelligent individuals, even mentors that impacted his life.

Within those long but valuable five years Mr. Clark gather articles out the Wall St Journal, other news papers, and read numerous entertainment magazines. This enabled Yankee to create a dummy portfolio, and name his company “Back Door Enterprises”. With the vision and tools in place, a logo was needed Mr. Clark reached out to an inmate from East Point, GA to do the art work for three honey buns, equaling $1.40.

Seizing the opportunity, and granted with a second chance upon Mr. Clarks release in February 2007, the second phase of his implementation began…dreams do come true!

Fully driven with expansion, Mr. Clark with his charisma and vernacular has worked with business owners, various artists, and models a like. Because we believe at Back Door Enterprises, marketing and advertisement are the uninhibited tools that create limitless awareness.

A phrase embedded which has become intrinsic motivation: Post date it on a card, sign on a bill. One that won’t twenty five will. In other words, what you’re looking for is looking for you! So if you are looking for success, it is looking for you, remember that marketing and advertisement is essential to your success.

Yankee is mindful of the childhood experiences that are unforgettable. The passion for the entertainment arena would be void without Edward Jay and Lady DJ.
