on the level

Over the last ten years, I’ve had the honor to speak before Masonic lodges, Masonic conferences, and to Appendant Bodies across Illinois, Michigan, New York, Colorado, and elsewhere across the United States. Giving those talks has provided me with a unique overview of contemporary Masonry, it’s challenges, and its successes.

I’m sharing the ideas, opinions, and observations here for lodge leadership and members. It is my hope they are helpful and educational and free from even the tiniest smidge of bullshit.

These articles are written and researched with the same rigor used for my business writing and journalism with strong scholarship and citations from reputable sources. I am confident the information presented here exemplifies the integrity and due diligence essential for editorial trust.
Please remember: no individual speaks for Masonry. Take my work with a grain of salt the size of an asteroid. Any time some guy writes “I know the REAL truth about Masonry,” run for your life. That guy just wants your money.
