I am a Member in Good Standing in Utah - My Mother Lodge is warranted to operate by the permission of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Utah.

Here is my Masonic Journey:

MASONIC JOURNEY

===========================

******************************

Occupation: Ordained Minister; Actor; Artist; Jack-of-all-trades: Woodworker, Leatherworker, Metalworker, Welder, Handyman, Landscaper, Arborist, Cook, Baker, Prop Design

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Masonic Journey - I am still new to Freemasonry and am still an avid student. I love this Brotherhood of ours. I am neither a voice for Freemasonry nor an authority. There are far more learned of whom you should read and learn from. I am simply a Brother hoping to learn, to grow, to improve myself, and hopefully to become a better man and Mason.

The following is my current Masonic Journey:
