Mark Jameson ’85: A Legacy of Leadership and Excellence

Mark Jameson, a proud member of Texas A&M University’s Class of 1985, has built an exceptional career marked by leadership, entrepreneurship, and an unwavering commitment to his community. Throughout his journey—from corporate success to becoming one of Texas’ top Allstate Insurance agents—Mark has demonstrated a relentless work ethic, a passion for excellence, and a dedication to service.

Early Career & Corporate Success

While at Texas A&M, Mark worked tirelessly to finance his education while excelling in leadership roles, serving as a two-year Senator in Student Government and Campus Representative for Coors Brewing Company. His outstanding performance earned him the prestigious Campus Representative of the Year Award in 1985.

Mark’s corporate career began at Coors Brewing Company (1985-1993), where he rapidly ascended the ranks, earning seven promotions in under a decade and receiving multiple awards, including Nationwide National Account Manager of the Year. He continued his trajectory at Miller Brewing Company (1994-1998), managing a 100-person organization and securing two promotions within four years. At Glazer’s Wholesale (1998-2000), Mark served as the National Director of Malt Beverages, overseeing one of the country’s largest wine and spirits wholesalers.

Entrepreneurial Success in Insurance

In 2000, Mark transitioned to entrepreneurship, establishing his Allstate Insurance agency. Over the years, he has grown his business into one of the largest Allstate agencies in Texas, with three locations serving 8,000 households, managing $32 million in premiums, 13,000 policies, and over 21,000 insured items. His agency has received 39 public recognitions as a “Best of” insurance provider, underscoring his reputation for excellence.

Mark’s contributions to the industry have earned him a Hall of Fame induction in 2024 and a long list of prestigious accolades.

Additionally, he has played a vital role in shaping the industry, serving on advisory boards such as: Texas Region Advisory Council (since 2002); National Advisory Board (one of 76 agents chosen from 11,000 nationwide); Agency Executive Council (one of 14 agents nationwide).

Mark’s commitment extends far beyond business; he is a devoted community leader and philanthropist. He has served as: President of the Southlake Baseball Association; Senior Executive on the Grapevine Faith School Board; Multiple-term Vestry Member & Senior Warden at St. Laurence Church; Lay Eucharistic Minister for the Diocese of Ft. Worth; and Member of the 12th Man Foundation Aggie Ambassadors & Champions Circle.

His passion for education and youth development led him to establish the Mark Jameson Allstate Insurance Scholar Athlete of the Month Scholarship Program, awarding over $100,000 in scholarships to 200 deserving student-athletes in Southlake Carroll ISD and Burleson ISD.

Personal Life & Interests

Mark has been married for 38 years to his college sweetheart, a fellow Aggie from the Class of 1985. Together, they have three accomplished children: A PhD graduate from TCU; An Aggie Class of 2012 graduate and Allstate employee; An LSU graduate currently in the CRNA Doctorate program at TCU; He is also a proud grandfather to Nova Jackson (Class of 2042) and Dax Jameson (Class of 2044).

A passionate supporter of Texas A&M athletics, Mark continues to follow Aggie sports with enthusiasm, embodying the Aggie spirit in both his professional and personal life.

A Lasting Impact

With a career defined by leadership, service, and a commitment to excellence, Mark Jameson has built a lasting legacy in both the insurance industry and his community. His journey from student leader to top industry professional and philanthropist reflects a life dedicated to making a meaningful impact—one client, one employee, and one scholar-athlete at a time.

Aggies gathered together on June 26, 1883, to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and classroom.  Eventually the annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas Independence on San Jacinto Day – April 21.  Over time the tradition has changed, but the charge has remained the same:  “If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.”  Muster is celebrated in more than four hundred locations worldwide, with the largest ceremony on the Texas A&M campus in College Station.  Aggie Muster as we know it today is credited to E. E. McQuillen ’20, who served as the Executive Secretary of The Association of Former Students.  It is fitting that he was honored to serve as the first Campus Muster speaker.

Muster is a time to look to the past, present and future – not only to grieve for those we have lost but to reflect and celebrate the lives that connect us to one another.  A gesture so simple in nature yet so lasting in spirit, Muster is the lasting impression every Aggie leaves with us; it reminds us of the greatness that lies within the walls of the Aggie family, of the loyalty we possess, of the connection that binds us and of the idea that every Aggie holds a place of importance – whether they are present in flesh or spirit.
