Mason has a passion for sports and plays baseball at Harvard-Westlake, which has led him to break five separate fingers. During COVID, Mason started a business that he struggles daily to keep up with, given his steadily dwindling amount of free time. He would love to spend more time golfing or doing pottery, but often gets trapped watching football while he packages box after box.
