Tarek Saab graduated with a BS in electrical engineering from The Catholic University of America and a BA in liberal arts from St. Anselm College. After working for five years as Texas Instruments’ global marketing manager for portable power semiconductors, Tarek decided to accept a spot on season 5 of NBC’s The Apprentice in 2006 with Donald Trump. This period in Hollywood would prompt Tarek to publish his memoir: “Gut Check: Confronting Love, Work, & Manhood.” A precious metals expert and entrepreneur, Tarek founded Saab & Company Inc, under which he owned and operated an online bullion business, Guardian Commodities. In 2010, Tarek partnered with Jason Kaspar to co-found Texas Precious Metals and has since worked tirelessly to build it into the multi-million dollar company it is today, designing innovative online operation systems and creating a solid framework for business to consumer transactions.
The eldest fifth-generation Kaspar, Jason is the CEO of Kaspar Companies, the Co-Founder of Texas Precious Metals, and the CIO of Ark Fund Capital Management, a global asset management company. Using the money he made from mowing lawns, Jason bought his first stock at the age of 13. As a high school student, he called his broker between class periods to buy and trade stocks. Jason graduated summa cum laude from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in both finance and accounting. Before settling down in Shiner, Texas, Jason lived in both New York City and Dallas, working as an investment research analyst for Highland Capital Management and a corporate restructuring analyst for FTI Consulting. With a firm foundation in his faith, Jason balances his enthusiasm for business by two-stepping and traveling on the weekends.

The Texas Mint is a division of Texas Precious Metals dedicated to crafting beautifully designed, world-class bullion products for precious metals wholesalers and retailers.
The mission at The Texas Mint is to provide value by offering high purity and strike quality, low premiums and superior packaging.
The Texas Mint is proud to offer our Texas Silver Round, Texas Gold Round, Texas Silver Bars, and Texas Gold Bars. All of our silver and gold products are 99.99% pure, finely struck and only matched by select products from the Royal Canadian Mint and the Perth Mint of Australia. Every round and bar is designed to honor great icons of Texas. Intricate engravings of the State Capitol, the state star, a cowboy, a bluebonnet, and our trademarked silhouette of the grand Lone Star State itself adorn the front and obverse of our exquisitely crafted products.
We also own and operate the Texas Precious Metals Depository, a private, underground, storage facility available for customers to store their gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
100% insured and audited, this secure facility has bulletproof doors, metal detection, armed security, and 24/7 surveillance. Our Lloyd's of London Insurance policy covers the full value of metal contents in the facility and adjusts to prevailing market rates.
Storage is also fully segregated, individually sealed, and metals are never commingled or allocated. There are no setup fees or withdrawal fees at the Texas Precious Metals Depository and we offer low monthly rates for storage.
