To say the last three years have been a rollercoaster for Jessica Famiglietti Young would be quite an understatement. Before 2019, she was a successful real estate agent in Las Vegas and owned a local armory that manufactured and sold firearms.

Today, she owns an anodizing facility in North Las Vegas that offers Type II and Type III finishes for a wide variety of customers but also serves as the in-house line for her New Frontier Armory company. The shop opened in 2020 with new equipment and a fully closed-loop recycling system that reuses all of their rinse waters through a DI water treatment system feeding back into their tanks. 

What has happened in the past several years has been something that Young never anticipated would occur, which included losing the love of her life and the father to her two young children, starting a new finishing operation that had been in the works, and finding love again as she works day and night to keep her businesses running and growing.

“It helps to have a good nanny,” Young says. “But I truly had no choice in what has happened to me since 2019. Then it was sink or swim for my family and me. I decided to swim.”
