I’ve been fortunate to have many brothers that have been guides and have inspired my journey in Freemasonry; however, the story of my first introduction to Masonry, I think, is the most compelling.

I had visited my grandfather’s grave, and I noticed he had a square and compass on his gravestone. He had passed when I was young, so I had never had an opportunity to discuss his involvement, but finding the symbols on his gravestone piqued my curiosity.
