Overview

From a dogtrot house in Depression-era Alabama to the frozen fields of Lambeau, from combat missions over Vietnam to building a multimillion-dollar business empire-this is the remarkable true story of a country boy who refused to let circumstances define his destiny. Robert ""Bigfoot"" Clemens grew up in Sauty Bottom, one of the poorest places in Alabama, where his family farmed land that would soon be flooded by the Tennessee Valley Authority. With nothing but his parents' work ethic, an unstoppable drive, and a pair of size-14 kangaroo-skin football shoes, he became a high school legend, a Georgia Bulldogs fullback, and a Green Bay Packer. But football was just the beginning. As a KC-135 pilot, Clemens flew refueling missions during the Cuban Missile Crisis and two tours in Vietnam, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary bravery. When he retired from the Air Force after twenty years, he turned his entrepreneur's eye to the vehicle warranty industry-building Automobile Consumer Services Corporation from nothing into a business that would make him a millionaire. Through three marriages, countless adventures across the globe, betrayals by trusted employees, and the inevitable losses that come with a long life, Clemens never stopped working, never stopped striving, and never forgot the Alabama dirt that raised him. And They Called Me Bigfoot is a testament to the American Dream, written by a man who lived it on his own terms.
