Bobby Mason grew up in South Central Los
Angeles, where he lost three friends over the years to gunshot wounds.
When Mason reached high school, his parents facilitated his admittance to
one of the top college prep schools in the country, The Harvard School
(now known as Harvard-Westlake) in North Hollywood, California. While at
the Harvard School, Mason was exposed to a diverse community of children
from varying cultural and economic backgrounds and varying degrees of
privilege. Mason declares he had experiences and made lifelong friendships
with people that he otherwise would probably never have encountered or
been exposed to. He honed his dream of being a scholar/athlete at the
highest levels and was able to realize this when he was admitted to
Amherst College in Massachusetts.
In 1996, Mason received his Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in political
science from Amherst, where he had also played baseball. He went on to
attend Stanford Law School, graduated in 2000 and is currently an attorney
in Los Angeles. He previously worked as an assistant to a sports agent and
a consultant at a consulting firm.
Mason is a member of the American and California Bar Associations, Black
Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association, Black Sports Agents
Association, National Association of Record Industry Professionals and Los
Angeles Music Network.
In his spare time, Mason enjoys working out, any competition, fantasy
baseball, drawing, reading and comic books. He describes himself as
dominant, loyal, malleable and stubborn. He is most proud of being an
all-around good guy. He was on "Blind Date" in 1998.
Mason is currently single and living in Los Angeles with his dogs, Bolo
and Dog. His birth date is August 20, 1973.
