BiographyEarly yearsClinton, with the help of his twin brother Chris Mills and father Ed Mills, started Hitcents in 1999 as sophomores in high school.[1] The business was founded as an online marketing firm, but quickly expanded its services in other areas of technology.[2] After graduation, Clinton received an Entrepreneur Scholarship to Western Kentucky University that included rent-free office space for Hitcents.[3] He attended WKU from 2002 until 2004, when he left to focus his time on the business. 2001, at the age of 19, Clinton and his twin brother were awarded Young Entrepreneurs of the Year for the state of Kentucky. In 2007, Hitcents was ranked 191 among the 500 fastest growing companies, and the Mills were ranked fifth of the top CEOs under 30 by Inc. Magazine.[4] RecognitionClinton is internationally recognized for his work on the hit game, "Draw a Stickman." which has earned 5 Webby awards[5][6] With over 100 million games played since its launch in 2011, "Draw a Stickman" has become a global brand with several available versions. {{Citation needed|reason=no reliable source to reference this claim|date=March 2015}} Hitcents Park PlazaMills spearheaded a real-estate investment in downtown Bowling Green, developing a 106,000 square foot four story mixed-use wrap.[7] In 2014, Mills took Hitcents Park Plaza opened five new restaurants on the 1st floor of the complex.[8] Tres Molinos,[9] Brick & Basil,[10] Pagoda,[11] Mariah's [12] and 6-4-3.[13] In September of that year, Tres-Molinos, Brick & Basil, and Pagoda were closed.
