Mason joined Q39 in June 2024 and is training to be the Kitchen Manager for the upcoming Lawrence location, set to open in 2025. Before joining Q39, Mason served as Kitchen Manager at HyVee for over a decade, where he honed his skills in planning, organizing and directing kitchen operations. He set department standards for customer service, cleanliness and profitability, worked closely with chefs for provisioning and purchasing, and supervised food portioning to minimize waste. Now at Q39, Mason is committed to learning every aspect of the kitchen and supporting the team wherever needed. His pride in delivering a high-quality product is matched only by his love for the people and environment at Q39. Outside of work, Mason enjoys cooking, exploring new music, hitting the gym, traveling and spending time outdoors.
