About Us

Jason Whitney and his wife Jessica have always been advocates for helping those who need a helping hand.

For more than 100 years, Jason and Jessica's families have contributed significantly to the development of Beaumont and Southeast Texas including Tyrell Park, the Tyrell Historical Library, the Garth House, the Beaumont Country Club, Lamar University, the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, Cathedral in the Pines Church and Legacy High School. As native born-and-raised Southeast Texans, Jason and Jessica Have committed to continuing the families' legacy of giving back, not only to the community, but more importantly, to the growth of future leaders for the entire region.

Jason Whitney is CEO of First Fidelity Reserve, a Beaumont-based precious metals and rare coins sales firm. From its inception in 1986, the company continues to be locally owned and operated. For the better part of its 22-year history, the company has served a nationwide base of client collectors who have a love of rare coins made of gold, silver and platinum. Since precious metals are also widely regarded as an essential risk diversification tool in financial portfolio planning, the company has expanded its services to also serve the needs pf precious metals investors as well.

First Fidelity Reserve, its principals and employees support numerous educational, civic and philanthropic endeavors within Beaumont and Southeast Texas. "Beaumont has always been home," says Jason, "and there's not another community in the world we'd rather be part of or give back to. It's exciting to see the next generation of leaders blossom and come into their own, and know we've been a small part of that."

The vision for the Future of America Scholarship is to support ten students each year at Lamar University within the next five years through an endowment fund. "The way I see it," says Jason, "the young people we support today are our future partners in building a better world - both locally and globally."
