MOST WORSHIPFUL TRI-STATE GRAND LODGE OFFICERS

In Freemasonry, a Grand Lodge is the governing body that oversees Masonic activities within a specific jurisdiction, which is often a state, province, or country. Grand Lodge officers are the elected or appointed officials responsible for administering the affairs of the Grand Lodge and its constituent lodges.

Most Worshipful (Grand Master)

I have been traveling in masonry for over 25 years. I received my 33 degree in 2019 and was elected to Grand Master, under the Most Worshipful Tristate Grand Lodge in 2022. I have traveled in many countries and received other degrees and hope, while developing the 5 year plan for the jurisdiction that we will continue to teach “living Masonry”
