Stephen Starks

MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: In life, being a husband and father of two children. Professionally, becoming a successful sports, litigation and corporate lawyer and then being able to make the transition to becoming an executive for a major motorsports league, where I arrange agreements with new race venues, promoters and media partners for IndyCar.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: The education I received at Drexel is second to none. As a four-year member of the NCAA Division I basketball team while at Drexel, I had to balance the on-court demands against a very demanding academic curriculum. Accordingly, in addition to leaving Drexel much smarter than when I arrived, I also was more disciplined and better equipped to handle pressure, both characteristics that continue to serve me well in my career today.

WHERE I’ll BE IN FIVE YEARS: Wherever my beautiful wife and two wonderful children take me. They run this show. Wherever that is, perhaps I will be fortunate enough to have been selected to lead a company. Alternatively, maybe I will have decided to start my own business.
