Mas was named the 2016 Hall Ambulance Paramedic of the Year. Mas is assigned to the Metro Bakersfield 911 system.

He was hired as an EMT in October 2013. He earned his paramedic license in 2015 after being sponsored through the Bakersfield College Paramedic Program.

He completed more calls in 2016 than any other EMT or paramedic.  While his 1,300 transports were impressive, Mas had the fastest average offload time of any paramedic in the Metro Bakersfield system.  Offload delays of three hours are not uncommon in Bakersfield. Only four employees averaged less than 30 minutes.
