What prompted you to join Freemasonry? I was a history major in collage and was always interested in Freemasonry. As a young kid growing up several members of my church were Masons. When I moved to Minnesota I wanted to get involved in my community and meet like minded men who I could have a connection with.

Short Bio: I moved to Minnesota in 2014 for work. I've been in the hotel industry my whole life and was transferred several times. I met my wife Becky here and got married in 2017 (5 days after being initiated as an Entered Apprentice). I love to read, and you can usually find me with my nose in a book when I'm not working. I currently blend my love of hospitality and history by working at the Saint Paul Hotel.
