Neil Clark Warren (born September 18, 1934) is an American clinical psychologist, Christian theologian, seminary professor and co-founder of the online relationship sites eHarmony and Compatible Partners.
In early 2000, they established eHarmony, an online compatibility matching service which gained two million users in its first three years.
When his father ran for office in Polk County, Warren's mother refused to vote because she didn't think one should meddle in politics.
"I think we could have had a very good business forever matching people for marriage," Warren said in 2012 in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
In 2004, Warren explained his position by commenting: "cities like San Francisco, Chicago or New York ... they could shut [eHarmony] down so fast.
"[8] Much of eHarmony's initial success was explained by Warren by its promotion on the daily radio broadcast of Focus on the Family.
As the company expanded and sought broader market share, Warren parted ways with Focus on the Family and its founder, James Dobson.
