About this user

Jason Levesque is civic leader and a successful entrepreneur who started Argo Marketing Group in Auburn with minimal resources in 2003 and built it into a national firm. His company directly employs 28 local people and, through affiliate companies contracted with Argo, has helped provide employment for hundreds more throughout Maine.

Levesque grew up in Poland Spring, Maine and comes from a family with five generations of Maine roots. His grandfather, the late Willard Levesque, moved to Lewiston from Madawaska, Maine during The Great Depression, and his Grandmother Arlene Duprey Levesque moved from Machias during the same time.

Jasons mother, Patricia, grew up in the Lewiston-Auburn, and works for L.L. Bean in Lewiston.
After graduating from Edward Little High School in Auburn, Levesque started college at West Virginia Wesleyan University but, unable to continue paying for college, left after several semesters to enlist in the United States Army. He served in the First Infantry Division and earned the highly-prized Expert Infantry designation. His leadership abilities were first noticed by superior officers who elevated him in rank and responsibilities as an Infantry Team Leader. Upon discharge, he served six years in the U.S. Army Reserves, including several extended tours of duty as a Drill Sergeant at Fort Leonard Woods, MO.

Levesque continued college at the University of Southern Maine, working to pay his tuition. His jobs included swimming instructor for the Portland School System and Lewiston YWCA. He also took his leadership skills and knack for organization to several marketing firms where he managed and trained employees around the country. It was with this experience and background, that he began Argo Marketing Group. And built it into a nationally recognized Marketing logistics firm.

Levesque is married to the former Tracey Bilodeau, who grew up in Augusta and attended Cony High School. She is a graduate of New England Culinary Institute. She has a successful career as a chef and restaurant manager, which she has put on hold to raise a young family.

Jason and Tracey live in Auburn with their three children: Alexandra (Ali), 11; Ethan, 4, and two year old Sarah
