His technical domain expertise lies in securing federal maritime facilities against evolving physical and cyber threats, ensuring compliance with DHS and Coast Guard security directives. Mason’s contracting patterns reflect a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with all awards directed to small businesses, fostering local and national vendors with proven capabilities in remote facility security.
