2024 Spartans Of The Year nominations are open! Enjoy this feature on our 2023 Distinguished Alumni Achievement award recipient, Kevin Jablon.

Kevin Jablon is a 1996 graduate with a degree in Management. While attending York College, Kevin loved everything that York had to offer, from Greek life to relaxing at Murph's Study Hall. It’s where he met his now wife, Tricia (Ruff) Jablon ’94, and three of his best friends, Dave Cipalla ’95, Anthony Ferrante ’95, and Chuck Schillaci ’94, all of whom are now instrumental parts of his business.

After graduating from York College, Jablon worked for a Japanese company where he quickly became familiar with standard business hierarchy and culture. He was never completely satisfied and always felt that he could do more.

When Kevin Jablon founded Spartan Surfaces in January of 2007, he named the company after his alma mater, York College of Pennsylvania. The Spartans! Kevin founded Spartan Surfaces on the principles of building strong relationships, providing excellent customer service, and having tremendous company culture. By sticking to these principles, Jablon was able to build his dream business in Spartan. A business that truly takes a human centered approach, Spartan Surfaces lives by the mantra, “WE Over ME”.

Kevin continues to speak to students at York and we recently hosted several business majors at Spartan Surfaces where Kevin gave his inspiring story of life before college, during and the success after. He continues to donate and recently donated to the Spartan Advance Fund on behalf of his family. With his oldest son attending YCP, his wife Tricia (a '94 York graduate) and family continue to support the school and cheer their son, Dylan, on the soccer field.
