Our Team

Preston J. Clark is a dynamic figure whose journey seamlessly blends artistry, entrepreneurship, and community building. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Time-Based Media Studies and a minor in Graphic Design from the Columbus College of Art and Design, Preston turned his creative ambitions into reality by founding 7th Floor Clothing, a brand that gained national attention when NBA superstar and Akron native LeBron James showcased its “Kiss the Trophy” hat on Instagram.

His work with 7th Floor Clothing has been featured in major publications including The New York Times, USA Today, Forbes, and Crain’s Cleveland Business. He also graced the cover of the Akron Beacon Journal for his entrepreneurial achievements and received a proclamation from the Secretary of State of Ohio recognizing his contributions to business and community.

Now serving as the Marketing and Communications Manager at the Akron Urban League, Preston continues to invest in the city that raised him—using his platform to empower others through creativity, storytelling, and strategic communication. Through his ventures and leadership, he remains a visionary force in both the artistic and business worlds.
