About Us

The Stark Logic Team:


Rich Stark, President & CEO


Rich founded the company 15 years ago with the idea of growing a team that would show businesses how to navigate the exciting, ever-changing landscape of internet marketing. He understands that if companies aren’t at the forefront of new marketing strategies, they’ll get left behind – that’s where Stark Logic comes in – with ideas and solutions to digital marketing needs.

Originally from the Bay Area, Rich lived in Orange County for 17 years before moving to Oceanside, CA in 2009. He has his B.S. in Civil Engineering from U.C. Irvine, where he also minored in Project Management. Besides his passion for marketing strategy and design, Rich enjoys snowboarding, traveling, watching football, baseball and hockey – specifically the 49ers, Giants, and Sharks.

David Valentin, Account Manager


David came on board with Stark Logic in July of 2011 after living in Maryland for 26 years, although he’s a California native. When he’s not helping people grow their businesses as an account manager, he’s reading, writing (he’s a published author), and watching good movies. He cites Lord of the Rings as one of the greatest films of all time. He’s an entrepreneur at heart, having owned several businesses. After being gone from the west coast for several years, David is enjoying being back in the “slice of heaven” that is Oceanside, California.


Irene Williams, Account Executive


Irene brought her cheerful attitude to Stark Logic in May, 2011. Originally from Toronto, Canada, she went to school in San Diego, and then moved to Las Vegas before coming back to Southern California in 2008. As a valuable account executive, Irene loves talking and relating to people and teaching them about Internet Marketing. In her free time she loves watching football, watching her 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter play sports, and playing with her two English Bulldogs.


Maria Cortez, Director of Customer Affairs


Maria joined Stark Logic in November of 2010 as our proverbial wearer-of-multiple-hats, jack-of-all-trades around the office, and we couldn’t be happier. Hailing from Juchitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, Maria moved to the U.S. in 1978. She attended Mira Costa College, and enjoys spending her free time and efforts helping out the Hispanic community in many areas.


Stephanie Nations, Marketing Coordinator


Stephanie joined Stark Logic in October of 2011 as Marketing Coordinator. She has her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and she loves to write both in and out of the office. Originally from North Carolina, she lost her southern twang after moving to San Diego at age 11. In her free time she loves to read, cook, and admits reality tv is a guilty pleasure. She’s excited to be on the team and get to creatively put her talents to use.
