about August Anchor Advisors

Gaige Clark, founder of August Anchor Advisors has been involved in politics all her life. She was born into a Massachusetts family that has been of service to the state and country since 1646.

Her main areas of service have consistently centered around the rights of children, women, and families followed by her ongoing support of the peace movement.

Gaige began her activism at age five in 1972 where young girls in Massachusetts were not allowed to wear pants in Kindergarten. Gaige would wear pants on many occasions and each time she would spend hours in front of the class with her head facing the wall for punishment.

In 1974 at seven years old, Cox Street Elementary school did not allow girls ages six to eleven to play sports. Only boys could play sports. Gaige fought and won a girls' right to play sports along with the boys. Most times Gaige would be the only girl participating on all boys teams.

In 1984 when Reagan began building the arms race, Gaige helped bring S.T.O.P. Student/Teacher Organization to Prevent Nuclear War to her high school Nashoba Regional High in Bolton Mass and was voted President her senior year. During that time, she was also voted Captain of her Soccer and Softball teams due to her diplomacy, leadership skills, and athletic abilities.

In 1991 Gaige was awarded a Francis Perkins scholarship to Mount Holyoke College where she studied Psychology under Dr. Ellie Reece and was active in Theater, Psychology Club, and The Mount Holyoke News. During this time, Gaige refined her skills and knowledge of psychology, media and entertainment's effect on public opinion, group structures, and social engineering. She learned a three prong approach to capturing the hearts and minds of Americans in the realms of government, legislation, branding, and image control.

1993 Gaige moved to New York City the same day she graduated from Mount Holyoke and worked in the field of Public Relations and Publishing for six years. 

1998 Gaige founded Spruce one of New York City, and Los Angeles’ most highly acclaimed and awarded flower boutiques. Since opening Spruce at 75 Greenwich Avenue, NYC, Clark’s designs have appeared in movies, TV shows, music videos, and commercials. Gaige has been featured in over thirty national and international publications. Her designs and integrity attracted an exclusive list of celebrities, socialites, politicians, and royalty from around the globe. Clark’s visionary brand of floral design, coined “New England Garden,” arose from her family settling in Sudbury Massachusetts in 1646. Her 4th Great Grandmother, Marion Leary, founded the Hudson Gladiola Flower Farm in the 1900's. Clark opened her second location in Chelsea at 222 8th avenue, a third store in 2013 on Sunset Blvd & Fountain in Los Angeles, and mobile flower bus from a converted old Ford school bus. Spruce NYC closed for good in the winter of 2024, but her Los Angeles Spruce is still alive and well and can be found at www.sprucela.com and on Instagram at sprucela.

2000 Gaige began working with Hugo Cory, an advisor to Al Gore who was mentoring her in the fields of civic duty, political ideology, and strategy.

2001 Gaige personally watched the twin towers fall in New York City standing in front of her flower shop 2.2 miles away from the attack. At this time she began analyzing and researching America's systems regarding geopolitical policies, history of The American Revolution, and national political policy and law.

2004 she was brought to Egypt to further her education on geopolitical events, social engineering, politics, The American Revolution, political systems, and America's state and federal funding policies.

2018 Gaige founded Spoon Bear when she began teaching herself woodcarving, working with the fallen Purple Lilac trees she had pruned in her yard. Falling in love with the wood and the spoons, she founded Spoon Bear where she began selling at local farmers markets in Woodstock NY, Provincetown, & Hudson MA. The spoons took off and every once in a while you can catch Gaige doing live carvings outside of Town Hall in Provincetown MA, where she has been living part time on her boat since 2020.

2024 Gaige founded August Anchor where she combined her 45 years of entrepreneurial experience, civic duty, historical and geopolitical analysis and created an organization to advise politicians, legislators, and personalities.

August Anchor literally means to increase stability.

August is a family name derived from the Latin word "augere," which means "to increase." The name, historically has been used for various kings and saints, for its noble connotations.

Anchor means stability and security. 

It is Gaige's belief that our country has lost its way. She believes America needs to anchor herself, stabilize, and begin to meet the needs of every day working Americans instead of corporations.

Stronger families, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and a peaceful more diplomatic foreign policy. Re-enact Glass-Steagall Act, Smith-Mundt Act, overturn Citizens United, and end ASFA all of which has gutted the middle class, demoralized most Americans and devestated our youth.

The American Dream appears to no longer be possible for most Americans. Most importantly, evidenced by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, for women, America has always fallen short at the moments where America needed women the most. In order to move forward to a brighter future America needs to finally let women lead the way, and there is great hope, this day is will be here soon.
