An entrepreneur at heart, Bridges has founded two successful data communications companies and authored published works in the field. His fascination with electronics began as a teenager repairing televisions and radios and continued through early personal computing experiences, including learning BASIC programming, building custom hardware interfaces and exploring early online connectivity.
The Mimms Museum, 5000 Commerce Pkwy. in Roswell, features an expansive collection of technological artifacts and offers educational programs for visitors.
Beyond his professional achievements, Bridges previously served as a multi-engine aircraft pilot and enjoys hands-on technical work. His passion for technology has been constant throughout his life, dating back to the home electronics laboratory he has maintained since elementary school.
Bridges’ involvement with Mimms Museum is rooted in a deep appreciation for the history of technology and its impact on future innovation. He values the museum’s role in preserving the artifacts and stories that illustrate how modern computing evolved through decades of experimentation and discovery.
“Clint is a long-time visitor, volunteer, member and donor of ours and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome him to the board of directors,” said Lonnie Mimms, founder and board chair at Mimms Museum. “Over the years, Clint has generously donated several items he personally designed and built for the museum. His enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to our mission have been evident from the very beginning and we cannot wait to have him more involved in our future growth plans.”
As the Mimms Museum continues expanding more than 20,000 square feet for its new exhibit iNSPIRE: Fifty Years of Innovation from Apple exhibition launching to the public April 1, Bridges will contribute his expertise to help guide the museum’s long-term vision and impact.
