Jason Starkman

About Jason

• Everyone in my family are small business owners, so I grew up intrigued by the entrepreneurial spirit and have always wanted the level of professional freedom it provides.
• Attended the University of California, Irvine (UCI) where I earned my bachelor’s degree in sociology.
• While in college, I had been active in events on campus, which led to me initially pursuing a career in events management or hospitality.
• After graduation, I began working for a student travel company organizing snowboarding trips for high schools and colleges.
• I went to work for Marriott Hotels in corporate event sales for about a year.
• Began running my own company hosting nightlife and private events in Southern California, Mexico, and Las Vegas.
• In 2011, a friend from UCI recruited me to open my own State Farm Agency in Los Angeles.
