William “Bill” Mason was born in Miami Beach, Florida. His parents moved the family to Las Vegas in 1964 where they raised Bill and his siblings. He graduated from Valley High School, and continued his education at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, Idaho. While there, Bill earned a Liberal Arts Degree with dual majors in Business Management and Psychology. After graduation, Bill continued his education and earned his Master of Business Administration from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.

Upon graduating from the University of Miami, Bill moved to southern California to live and work. It was there that Bill began his career by assisting in management and harvesting operations for a large agricultural firm. By the end of 1988, Bill returned to Las Vegas to work in the family construction business, Taylor International Corp., with his grandfather, father and his brother, Jim.

In the early years at Taylor, Bill learned all aspects of the company, including working as the controller and field superintendent. Over the next ten years, Bill’s role with the company expanded to project management. During that time, Bill was able to work on overseas projects in Peru and Chile, and further advance his bilingual capabilities. In 1997, Bill worked with his brother Jim as project managers on the Sheraton Desert Inn Project. After completion of the Desert Inn, Bill and Jim purchased the remaining shares of Taylor International and took over full-time control of the company.
