JAY YOUNG has a lifelong passion for the oil and gas business. His family has been in the business for over one hundred years. His affinity for the oil patch led him to found King Operating Corporation, which he designed to minimize risk by acquiring and developing areas with a long history of producing oil and gas. When he is not busy developing oil and gas projects, Jay hosts his own radio show and participates in local and national philanthropic organizations such as serving on the executive board of directors for Circle Ten Council (Boy Scouts of America) and on the foundation board of his alma mater, Angelo State University, where he graduated with a BBA. Jay lives with his wife Michelle and four daughters in Dallas, Texas.
