Upon graduation, Mason went on to teach Psychology and was selected the Varsity Basketball head coach at his Alma Mater, West Jordan Highschool. Mason and Kortni were the parents of three children, two sons, Riggins and Blue, and one daughter, Franki. Mason was presented with a great opportunity to move to St. George Utah with his family in the summer of 2021 to become a basketball skills trainer at Nets on Fire. Shortly after the move his life was shattered as his family was involved in a fatal car accident that took the lives of his brother Race Sawyer, his nephew Rider Sawyer, his wife Kortni, his son Riggins, and his daughter Franki. The accident occurred on July 25, 2021. Mason has now become solely focused on raising his son, Blue, who survived the car accident. His mission is to help other people by living the 10/90 Principle. This principal of life being 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond has inspired him to start a podcast named The10ninety. He has gone on to share his message as a public speaker.
