I'm Mike Mason, originally from Herndon, Virginia. I'm a proud alumnus of the University of Florida and started my career as a newspaper reporter. then transitioned into roles within major trade associations, representing industries such as trucking, convenience stores, independent grocers, and Farm Credit. Beyond my professional pursuits, I've always been deeply involved in school and youth sports, driven by my dedication to community engagement and youth development. These days, I call Bunker Hill, West Virginia home, where I enjoy unwinding with fishing trips and rounds of golf in my leisure time. I consider myself extremely lucky and honored to play a role in enhancing the fundraising success of school teams and activities as well as youth clubs and leagues. We at Vertical Raise are dedicated to optimizing fundraising results while reducing the effort and time required from our busy coaches and boosters.
