Mast enters his first year as head coach of the men's basketball program in 2024.

Mast comes to Fort Lewis College after leading the University of Antelope Valley (NAIA) as its head coach for five seasons. During his time at the helm, Mast guided the Pioneers to an overall record of 99-26, three Cal Pac regular-season championships, a pair of conference tournament titles, and three NAIA Tournament berths. Mast was named Cal Pac Conference Coach of the Year three times in his tenure.

Prior to taking the reigns as head coach, Mast spent two seasons on staff at Antelope Valley as the program’s Associate Head Coach. The squad earned back-to-back regular-season and tournament titles in those seasons. Mast’s coaching career began at California Institute of Technology (NCAA DIII) where he was the Assistant Coach from 2015-17. During his first season at Cal Tech, the team combined for the most wins in 61 years.

Before he entered the collegiate coaching ranks, Mast launched Oregon Elite Basketball (OEB). OEB quickly became the largest AAU program in Oregon from 2010-15. He was simultaneously an Assistant Coach at Liberty High School where his team achieved multiple 20+ win seasons and reached the state championship game.

Mast’s love for basketball took him to Gonzaga University where he competed for two seasons before an injury cut his career short. He continued his education at Warner Pacific University in Portland, Oregon where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration.
