Mason was born in Mesa, Arizona on June 22, 1945 to Mason W. and Eva I. Davis. He was the only boy out of 6 sisters. Mason attended school in Mesa, AZ until his senior year when his family moved to Fullerton, CA for a short time where he graduated high school. He attended Ricks College in Rexburg, ID for a year before serving a mission for the LDS church in the Central States that covered Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Nebraska. Following his mission, he became a fireman and served for nearly two decades as a fireman and Captain for the Mesa Fire Department. Mason worked hard to build a thriving crane operating business that inspired him to revolutionize the way people set trusses by creating, fabricating, and manufacturing award winning truss clips.
