Abel Zamarripas has a high interest business and is pursuing his MBA degree with a focus in marketing at California State University Fresno. After watching his father run a landscaping business for years, he knew at a very young age that he also wanted to go into business. In high school, Abel worked with his father during the summers and was fascinated by the many working parts it takes to operate a successful business. From this experience, he learned the value of hard work, efficiency, and persistence. During his undergraduate at Fresno State Abel was selected in the University's Entrepreneurial Mentor Program where he was able to connect and network with business mentors. In the future, he hopes to own and operate his own business in California. Abel spends his spare time volunteering to help organize networking events to help students connect with professionals.
