Jason Young

Owner
Jason is the Creator and Owner of Verona Villa. Having spent seventeen years in corporate America as a retail executive focused on creating world-class customer experiences, Jason became enamored with the fast-growing city of Frisco, TX. Serving six years on the Frisco Convention and Visitors’ Bureau Board as the vice-chairman gave Jason an intimate view of the tremendous leadership and opportunities to take a chance to follow a dream. 

As a result of many conversations with family, friends and mentors, Jason thought that this community could use a beautiful backdrop for people to gather as family, friends and teammates; to celebrate life’s special occasions, company achievements and friendships; and to inspire people to love deeper, dream bigger and achieve higher. This was how Gather-Celebrate-Inspire came to be. From the design of our space to the finishes he chose, Jason aimed to create a timeless, authentic, romantic space with modern details. 

When Jason is away from the venue, you can find him with his wife Christy and daughter Cambria. As a veteran of the game show Family Feud (yes he was the anchor of the fast money and yes they won), Jason loves making every event one to remember.
