Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Jason Hoke is not your typical trades business owner. With a remarkable journey that has traversed disruption in the music industry, rapid growth in the trades industry, and innovation in the hyper-paced technology industry, he brings a unique perspective to entrepreneurialism. Starting at A Cut Above Landscape at just 15, Jason journeyed from a technician to the company's owner. Today, he spearheads a team of 30+ professionals, turning working with a landscape contractor into an easy task, just like hiring a car from Uber or ordering a meal from DoorDash. His business centers around adding hours to the day and building a culture committed to personal growth. In 2022, Jason's passion for industry innovation led him to co-found IssueID. The software solution simplifies business operations and enables landscaping businesses to manage overlooked yet profitable jobs effectively.
