About Todd Clark

Todd Clark is a veteran Fire Captain, Paramedic, and Law Enforcement Officer with over 20 years of dedicated service in public safety.

Over two decades on the frontlines, Todd has experienced both the pride and the pressure of leading in high-stakes environments. Like many first responders, he saw firsthand how stress and alcohol often became coping mechanisms within the culture. In 2023, he made the decision to embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle—choosing clarity, leadership, and wellness over the burnout cycle—and now helps others do the same.

Through Next Level Responder and Zero Proof Hero, Todd delivers impactful keynotes, workshops, and coaching programs that empower Fire, EMS, and Police professionals to build resilience, lead with strength, and live alcohol-free. His mission is simple: to help first responders perform at the next level—personally and professionally.

Why I Started Next Level Responder…

After years of service, I realized that while we train for everything—from structure fires to critical incidents—very few of us are trained to sustain ourselves.

Next Level Responder was born from that realization. It’s about more than professional success—it’s about purpose, clarity, and leading from a place of strength.
