Jason Strohm
IT/Business Consultant
Jason joined the Clarion University Small Business Development Center in October of 2017. He has both a Bachelor's and Master's Degree from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in Graphic Arts and Communication respectively.
After graduating from Clarion University with his first degree, Jason taught art and marketing classes at DuBois Business College and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. While returning to college for his MA in Communication, Jason started Strohm Graphics a web and graphic design firm located in Brookville PA. In 2008, Jason returned to the Clarion University, this time as their Web Designer/Developer working in the Marketing and Communication office.
In 2014, while maintaining his position at Clarion University, he started another company along with his daughters selling educational card games and teaching the girls how to build and operate a business of their own.
After nine years in the Marketing and Communication office, Jason transferred to the Clarion University SBDC as a IT/Business Consultant. This was in preparation of Matt Sopher's retirement, the IT/Business Consultant at the time.
"It was a good fit. I was still enjoying the Web Designer/Developer projects but a new work experience in a position where we help businesses start and grow every day was a refreshing change of pace. Each day at the Clarion University SBDC is completely different and challenging in a good way." – Jason
