Mason is from the small town of Dunnellon, FL. He always had dreams of becoming a pilot but didn’t pursue it until becoming bored of engineering classes after a year at the College of Central Florida. He momentarily quit school to earn his private pilot certificate out of a small grass field just south of Ocala, FL. He then went on to graduate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Science. After graduating, he attended Epic Flight Academy in Ocala to earn his flight instructor certificate. In his free time, he enjoys golfing and fishing.
