Byron Alan Clark (born 1960) is a businessman from Hot Springs in Garland County, Arkansas, who is a Republican member of the Arkansas State Senate from District 13. He represents Hot Spring County and parts of Garland, Grant, and Saline counties.
Clark was born to Alfred Eugene Clark (born 1938) and Mildred I. Clark (born 1940), natives of Arkansas County near Stuttgart in eastern Arkansas, who relocated to Hot Springs in 1960. Alfred and Mildred taught school, farmed, and pastored several Christian churches, two of the Church of the Nazarene denomination. In 1973, they launched Clarks Building & Decorating Center, a lumberyard and flooring center. Alan Clark transferred in the eleventh grade to Cutter–Morning Star High School, from which he graduated c. 1978. There he met his future wife, Jana Lynn Pruitt (born 1961). He is heavily involved in his church, including a role as associate pastor and youth pastor, but his website does not give the name or denomination of the church.
Clark is the vice president and chief operation officer of the family-owned, Clarks Building & Decorating Center in Hot Springs. Clark served on Ace Hardware's PACE Computer 12 member Technology Board from 1992 to 1996. He was a member and served as Chairman of the Central Arkansas Ace Team (CAAT) an Ace dealer group. Clark served on the board of directors of the Mid Americal Lumberman's Association (MLA). He served as President in 2008. Afterwards he was elected as their representative for several years to the National Lumber and Building Material Dealer Association (NLBMDA) board. He stepped down from that board after being elected to the Arkansas State Senate. In 2011, Clark was named Associate of the Year by the Hot Springs Home Builders Association. The Clarks reside in Lonsdale in Garland County. They have a son, Andrew N. "Drew" Clark, and a daughter, Shay S. Clark.
