David Mason

 

David has been an active OLLI member since the Fall of 2005. Since that time he has enjoyed participating in the many opportunities for learning and fellowship available through OLLI, and he has even tried his hand at being an OLLI instructor. David was privileged to have been a cast member in the OLLI play, "Daze of Our Lives," presented as part of George Mason’s 2007 First Light Festival.

     David wants to strengthen and grow the "magic" that is OLLI and its unique and special relationship with George Mason University. David is also interested in seeing that OLLI continues that rare and "magical" quality that brings people together in a colligate atmosphere, where life experiences are valued and easily shared and where personal horizons are expanded through new learning experiences. This means building upon past successes as the future brings OLLI new opportunities, directions, and members. David is committed to making OLLI as successful and enjoyable as possible.

     During David’s career, he has been a US Army Officer, US Government Executive, Electric Power Engineer, Information Technology Executive, Entrepreneur, and College Instructor and is now retired from the US Government. David has been a Realtor for 25+ years and continues to work, although semi-retired, in that capacity. David has previously lived in Alabama, Georgia, and seven years in Germany with the US Army.
     In addition to OLLI, David enjoys skiing, shooting, SCUBA diving, ballroom dancing, the community, his church, and spending time in England where he and his wife Mo have a second home. David and Mo have a total of five grandchildren between them.

     David received both a Masters and a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
