How it Started

Beth was born and raised in the small town of Voorheesville, NY.  She attended Clarkson University, where she played Varsity Women’s Soccer and Lacrosse and graduated with honors with a Civil/Environmental Engineering degree in 1997.  While at Clarkson she did an internship with Stearns and Wheeler in Cazenovia, NY and was inducted into Phalanx, the University's Highest Honor Society.  She was also the President of Clarkson’s Chi Epsilon Chapter.  During her junior year, Clarkson sent her as their representative to a four-day National Conclave in Lexington, KY, and she was blessed to meet her future husband, Chris. 

Following graduation, Beth moved to Cincinnati and began her professional career as a Sales Engineer with The Henry P. Thompson Company.  After 6 months in Cincinnati, she petitioned to be given her own sales territory and was sent to cover Northern, OH.  This undeveloped territory proved to be a great challenge and provided an opportunity for Beth to build many relationships in the industry.  Beth next covered the Southern Ohio Sales Territory for HPT.  

After a childcare incident lead her to stay home with their young children, she formed Clear Consulting and kept her PE license active with the intention of returning to the industry when it was best for their family.  For the first few years back at work she was the facilities manager of a 100,000 sq. ft. school facility in Mason, OH. There she had an opportunity to put her engineering training to immediate use working on projects ranging from safety and compliance to design and construction.  

In 2017 Beth was able to hire her husband Chris, realizing their 20-year dream of working together as Clear Consulting, Inc.
