InfoSam Clovis, currently a tenured full professor at a private liberal arts college in northwest Iowa, is originally from rural Kansas. After graduating from Buhler High School where he earned athletic letters in three sports and graduated near the top of his class, he accepted an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado. He received his degree in Political Science and a commission as a Second Lieutenant and took up a career in the Air Force that spanned 25 years. During his career, he achieved combat readiness in the F-106 Delta Dart, the F-4G Wild Weasel and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. He also served on the elite Project CHECKMATE team in the Pentagon and spent two years in the Middle East as the chief of the office of military cooperation in Bahrain. Sam commanded the 70th Fighter Squadron and retired as the Inspector General of the United States Space Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command. He achieved the rank of full colonel and earned numerous decorations to include the Defense Superior Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster and recognition for his service in the Middle Eastern combat zones.

Sam earned an MBA from Golden Gate University and studied at Georgetown University in the National Security program. He earned his doctorate in public administration from the University of Alabama and then entered the field of higher education. Along with his teaching duties in Iowa, he lectures frequently at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. He has taught at various other institutions including Iowa State University in the Masters of Public Administration program.

Upon his retirement from the Air Force, Dr. Clovis entered the private sector working for a series of companies in management and executive roles. He was a division manager for the Logicon Corporation, providing leadership to a wide array of capabilities including human factors engineering, Wargaming for the United States Air Force and technology applications for defense industry clients. Sam also served as an Associate with Booz Allen and Hamilton, America’s oldest consulting firm, Northrop Grumman and most recently as a Fellow with the Homeland Security Institute, a DC-based think-tank. He came to his current position in 2005 and has been active in Republican politics. Sam hosted a daily conservative talk show on KSCJ, 1360 am, in Sioux City, IA, and a program about faith and citizenship for St. Gabriel Communications, a Catholic radio outlet. He also served as the President of Serious Civics for America, Inc., a non-profit organization focused on raising civics awareness and enhancing education reform. He is a Catholic and lives in Hinton, IA, with his wife Charlotte and stepson Khan.
