The phrase Mason-Dixon has powerful connotations for many people. It was created to represent a boundary between “North” and “South” and became directly related to slavery and fleeing slaves’ pursuit of freedom.

We decided to take a different approach to this history by naming our company Mayson-Dixon. For us, “Mayson” is a combination of our founders names and a reference to the fact that both of them grew up in counties that touch the Mason-Dixon line. More importantly, we are reclaiming this heritage as an interracial business team that erases lines building communities for a better future.
Mayson-Dixon was born from a desire to remove barriers to improve communities wherever we can. We have turn that into a mission to bring access to investment, resources and expertise to individuals that often don’t get that opportunity. Success is a collective goal.
Connecting people through meaningful work and relationships is in our blood. Jayson’s great grandfather was a small-business owner, famed bill-ringer, deacon at his church, and a fighter for racial integration for more minority businesses and career opportunities for people of color through his work at Baltimore’s Lexington Market. Mr. Carpenter taught his family that when doors are open for you in life you don’t close them behind you. He is why Mayson-Dixon exists.
In order to be the best community partner possible, we follow a guiding principle: Listen first, act second. Our clients and partners currently look to us as a guiding force that diagnoses problems and identifies opportunities before prescribing solutions. We want this to be the case across the board in all projects we engage in.
