Board Member Spotlight
Billy Davis ‘84
When asked about his favorite Clemson memory, Billy Davis wasted no time in answering: playing on the 1981 National Championship Team. He is also immensely proud of playing Clemson Football and Baseball with Coaches Danny Ford and Bill Wilhelm, respectively, and is ranked second in Clemson history in career punt returns. But while those may be highlights of his time at Clemson, Billy has since had many professional accomplishments, having served the university, his community, and the country in many ways.
A 1984 graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Billy went on to complete postgraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University and Harvard University. After playing with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1984-1985, Billy served as Special Agent in the United States Secret Service for 27 years. Before retiring in 2015, he served the Special Agent in Charge of the Vice Presidential Protective Division for Joseph R. Biden.
Billy is currently the Director of Executive and Major Event Security for Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. He is a former member of the Board of Directors for the Military Bowl (2010-2018). Billy is a die-hard Clemson fan, but he also proudly cheers for the Kentucky Wildcats as his youngest daughter is a member of the UK Swim and Dive Team. He has been married to his wife, Kim, for 31 years and they have two daughters, Hannah (24) and Sofie (20).
Billy served on the Clemson Club Regional Board of Directors in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and we are so proud to welcome him back to the Board with his re-election in the summer of 2021.

Honor Flights are BACK!
Representing the Clemson Family while welcoming South Carolina veterans to Washington, D.C., on an Honor Flight is both a privilege and a humbling experience. As these American heroes arrive, Club volunteers proudly greet them with enthusiastic applause, warm smiles, handshakes, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude for their service and sacrifice. For many veterans, this welcome is a meaningful recognition that may have been missing when they returned home from military service. It is an emotional reminder that their courage, commitment, and dedication to our nation have not been forgotten. Standing alongside fellow volunteers to honor these remarkable men and women reflects the Clemson spirit of service and provides an unforgettable opportunity to thank those who have given so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.
Greeters must plan for arrival at DCA no later than 7:45am to allow for parking, walking to the group meeting point and passing through security. The group meeting point will be in front of The Café at DCA North, just outside the North Security Checkpoint.
Please note that registration for this event will close on Sunday, September 13th to allow time for processing the Gate Access Passes.
*** Please read the FAQs on the registration page carefully. ***
