Lamar Advertising of Los Angeles
Vice-President & General Manager
I am a 20+ year employee of Lamar. I started my career in sales in southeast Ohio just west of Pittsburgh, PA. I graduated from college with a major in Accounting and Finance. I was promoted to Sales Manager and ultimately General Manager in Dayton, OH in 1999. I moved to California in 2002 and worked in the Inland Empire office. After an acquisition of Vista Media in 2008, I became the manager for our new Los Angeles office. It has been a fantastic journey and my family absolutely loves Southern California.

Founder
Hello everyone, my name is Malik Jackson. I am a proud product of the San Fernando Valley, growing up in Northridge and attending Kittridge Street Elementary, Nobel Middle School, and Birmingham High School. After high school, I attended the University of Southern California for two years before transferring to the University of Tennessee to complete my collegiate career.
In 2012, I was fortunate to be the 137th pick in the NFL Draft, where I played for 10 seasons, participating in two Super Bowls, winning one, and earning a trip to the Pro Bowl. In 2022, I retired to become a full-time father to my daughter and to launch a company called The Care League. We empower retired athletes to thrive in their next chapter by providing a supportive community that addresses their unique challenges. Our platform, built on white glove service, connects members with valuable resources and expert advice tailored to their needs.
