He negotiated many multi-million dollar government contracts with major contractors, including TRW, General Dynamics, and General Electric. In 1980 Mason resigned to become an entrepreneur, forming a private consulting company to assist businesses in obtaining and administering government contracts.

Noted for his quick wit, vigorous debate and forceful oratory, Mason is a challenge to the opposition and an instructive persuasive counselor to allies. Mason’s 2002 visit to Cal Poly galvanized a free speech case against student Steve Hinkle who simply posted a flyer announcing the speech, which was entitled “It’s Okay to Leave the Plantation.” The Cal Poly administration charged Hinkle of disruption. The case was settled in Hinkle’s favor with the intervention of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), and Cal Poly had to pay $40,000 in legal fees to Hinkle.
