CEO - Brent Mason
​
I began my military career in 2000 at Travis Air Force Base, where I served as Crew Chief on the KC-10 Extender until 2006. During this time I had multiple deployments. First through Operation Enduring Freedom, where our crew was the second plane off the ground at Travis AFB after the 9-11 attacks, and then again through Operation Iraqi Freedom. Upon completing my active duty service, I joined the Michigan National Guard where I was Crew Chief on the C-130 Hercules until November of 2008.
​
As a business man, also owning Hole In One Golf Book and Smart Card Fundraising, I am extremely passionate about supporting veterans and community organizations in need. Some organizations we have worked with are It Takes a Warrior Crisis Response Team, Yellow Ribbon Guard, Michigan Warriors Hockey Program , Spirit Warriors Hockey Program for disabled veterans, I Support the 1% Food Pantry as well as dozens of community non-profit organizations in support of our community members in need.
