Jason Black

Author Headshot

Jason was born and raised in Louisville, Ky. After working for a couple of local Fortune 500 companies, Jason followed his true passion and founded his first construction business, building one or two homes a year while still working full time. He ultimately moved on to create Artisan Signature Homes. Jason has overseen the construction of over 100 homes in the Norton Commons community, including the 2019 FHB House.
