Real World Experience. Real Life Results.
​
Most families do not need another opinion. They need a framework that can withstand the pressure of everyday life. Higher Grounds Management was built for that exact reason. We exist for families who have tried talking, waiting, hoping, and reacting, only to find themselves trapped in the same painful cycles. Our work brings a modernized, hands-on approach to the places where breakdown is actually happening so that the home can become a place of harmonious and reformed parental structure.

Award Winning Leadership
​
The work of Higher Grounds Management has been recognized because of the real difference they’ve made since its origins in the lives of families and within the community we serve. Higher Grounds Management and four of our team members received the Unsung Hero Award from the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce. We were also honored with the Emerging Leader Award from Leadership Hermosa Beach and formally recognized by State Assembly Representative Al Muratsuchi for exceptional leadership and service. These acknowledgments reflect more than achievement.
Meet the Founders
With more than 40 years of combined experience, Tynan and Mike lead Higher Grounds Management with unusual depth, practical wisdom, and a clear understanding of what families are actually up against. Their leadership is shaped not only by professional training but by years spent confronting serious behavioral issues, crises, and the deeper fractures that often exist beneath them. Together, they have built a team that is committed to helping families regain clarity and direction when both have begun to slip away.
Tynan Mason
​
Tynan Mason is a former Gang Intervention Specialist, Juvenile Probation Officer, and Deputy Probation Officer whose work has long centered on behavioral disruption, family instability, and high-stakes intervention. He attended Sacred Heart Cathedral College Preparatory in San Francisco and studied Psychology and Criminal Justice at UNLV. He also holds certifications in mediation and conflict resolution and is a graduate of the Manhattan Beach Leadership Council.
​
What gives Tynan’s work its force is that it does not come from theory alone. He grew up navigating undiagnosed ADHD and high-functioning autism in an environment marked by addiction and narcissism. He knows the confusion of chaos from the inside. He knows what it means to feel as though instability has become normal. He also faced addiction in his own life and rebuilt himself through discipline, health, structure, and personal responsibility. Today, he helps families do more than survive dysfunction. He helps them confront it and begin building something stronger in its place.
​
Mike Beiras
​
Mike Beiras is a former United States Federal Probation Officer with extensive experience in accountability systems, behavior intervention, and crisis management. He attended Mira Costa High School, studied Psychology at Texas Tech, and earned a Master’s Degree in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
​
Mike brings an exceptionally calm and strategic presence to difficult family situations. He has a gift for identifying what is driving a problem, reducing emotional noise, and helping families move toward solutions that are realistic, disciplined, and sustainable. In moments when parents feel overwhelmed or uncertain, Mike offers the kind of clarity that allows a family to stop spiraling and start rebuilding.
Together, Their Leadership Is Grounded In:
-
Behavior intervention
-
In-home presence
-
Family systems
-
Motivational interviewing
-
Relapse prevention
-
Crisis intervention
-
Conflict resolution
Both Tynan and Mike are certified life and health coaches and have trained a team of specialists to carry forward the same real-world, deeply engaged approach that defines Higher Grounds Management.
Why Families Choose Higher Grounds
Families reach out to Higher Grounds Management when they are at a loss by the seemingly never-ending tension, discouraged by failed attempts, and frightened by the direction things are going. What they find here is not a passive model that waits for insight to somehow become action. They find a team that steps into the reality of their lives and helps create movement where there has been paralysis.
They choose us because our approach is different.
-
We respond to what is happening now, not months after the damage deepens
-
We create plans that fit the realities of the family, not generic formulas
-
We strengthen the leadership of parents while challenging the growth of the child
-
We bring structure into places that have become emotionally unstable
-
We focus on outcomes that can be lived, not just discussed
This is not about dressing up a broken pattern and calling it progress. It is about helping a family reclaim its footing before more trust is lost, more distance grows, and more damage hardens into habit. The modern family needs more than sympathy. It needs a stronger model, one capable of meeting complexity with wisdom, action, and courage. That is the work Higher Grounds Management has committed itself to.
If your family is tired of circling the same pain and calling it normal, this may be the moment to choose a different path. Higher Grounds Management offers a modernized approach for families who need more than talk and are ready for something that can truly hold. Reach out today and begin the process of restoring strength, clarity, and hope in your home.
