A former head coach of the KSC swim program, David Mason returned to the Spaulding Gym Pool deck as the Owls' diving coach in 2006.

Mason, who spent eight seasons coaching the Owls (1987 - 1996), helped KSC build a successful dual meet record and qualify an increasing number of athletes for the New England championships during his tenure.

Originally from Erie, Pa., Mason attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where as a springboard diver he qualified for national competition in his final two seasons.

While working toward his master's degree at IUP, Mason began coaching the school's diving team. Upon graduation, he served as the swim coach at several high schools in Pennsylvania and New York, as well as the diving coach at Mercyhurst College.

Mason currently works in the physical education department at Monadnock Regional High School, where he also served on the football coaching staff for eight seasons. Mason resides in Swanzey, N.H., with his wife Colleen and daughters Kylie and Maura.
