Bio
J.X. Mason graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in History from Stanford University, where he was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa key and was selected as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. Soon after, he earned a Master’s Degree in Education and an MBA in Finance. He served as a Naval Officer for three years, during which he saw combat during an amphibious landing of Marines. The main part of Mason’s career was spent working at one of the world’s largest financial companies. There, he invested money belonging to workers’ retirement plans by loaning it out to (and sometimes buying shares in) large and mid-sized corporations. In retirement, JXM taught at a nationwide University, served as webmaster for a Unitarian Church, and edited a monthly newsletter called Distributed Power News, which reported on advances in green-energy and on-site power generation.
