Theresa & Justin Mason

Theresa and Justin Mason are no strangers to the Grapevine community as they have lived and worked in Grapevine since 2012. Theresa has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2004 and has started, sold and continues to run multiple businesses including two painting companies, a non-profit, a real estate business, music company and private Montessori style school. Justin Mason grew up listening to a variety of music genres but was always partial to country music. In 2013, he taught himself how to play guitar and put a band together. Over the last 10 years, he has released multiple albums, played many notable venues and enjoys singing and playing country music around the area.

“Both Justin and I love Grapevine and are longtime supporters of GRACE, volunteer as a family where we can, and are honored to be co-chairs of the 2024 GRACE Gala”.
