Robert Clemens, former fullback and linebacker for the University of Georgia, demonstrated his values of hard work and dedication early in his career. 

Going into his freshman year in 1951 Clemens was the sixth string fullback but by the first game of the season he had progressed all the way to first string.

"College football requires ability, stamina, motivation and dedication.  The loss of any one of these traits will result in a mediocre athlete," Clemens said.  During his time at Georgia, Clemens demonstrated that he indeed had each of these qualities.  Clemens not only earned a first string position as a freshman, but he went on to become the leader in yards gained and touchdowns scored for his sophomore and junior years.  He was also elected alternate Captain his senior year and made the 1954 All SEC Scholastic Football team.

Clemens graduated from UGA in 1955 with a B.S. of Agriculture and then went into the United States Air Force and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 21 years.  Clemens then went on to get his MBA in 1978 and during this time decided to open his business, Automobile Consumer Service Corporation, because of an interest in sales and service. 

Automobile Consumer Service Corporation designs, markets and services vehicle extended service contracts.  It has been open since 1977 and operates in 30 states and Canada. 

Clemens used what he had learned in football to be successful as a business owner.  "In business, success breeds success.  Thus to be a leader in business, one must also possess the ability, stamina, motivation and dedication that is necessary in sports," Clemens said.
