John Clifford, started making pizzas professionally when he was fifteen years old. Many years later, he is still making pizzas but is way better at it than he was then. When not in the stores helping customers, tossing dough, or topping pies, John is the Senior Director of Training and Development at Pagliacci Pizza. He has been helping Pagliacci along its Baldrige journey and has served as a Baldrige examiner at both the regional and national levels. He also serves on the board of directors for Performance Excellence Northwest (PENW).
