“Freemasonry has been, and continues to be an important part of my personal and professional life. At an individual level, the virtues espoused by the Fraternity are a constant reminder that I must hold myself to a higher standard than that of my peers. Understanding that when I speak, and act I speak not only for myself, but I am for others a representative of the Fraternity as a whole. In this way I help to ensure that the reputation and character, of not only myself, but also the Masonic Fraternity remains unsullied.”
