Bio
I joined Freemasonry in 1994, and progressed through the chair of my mother Lodge in 2000. My first Masonic article was published 1998 and I presented my first Masonic lecture in 2001. My portfolio now contains over thirty lectures which I have presented to Lodges in the Provinces of South East England and Metropolitan Grand Lodge. My lectures have now raised over £10,000 for charity.
After 20 years as manager of the Folkestone Masonic Center , I have now retired.
In 2008, I was greatly honoured to be appointed Provincial Assistant Grand Standard Bearer. In 2009 I was invited by the R. W. Bro Michael Robin Bailey, Provincial Grand Master for East Kent, to present the annual Cornwallis Lecture. In 2010 I was invited to give the Colin Dyer Memorial Lecture and in 2011 I participated as a member of the East Kent debating team.
Also in 2011, I celebrated my 10th anniversary of Masonic lecturing, by producing ten new lectures with unique musical themes from which all proceeds have been donated to the East Kent 2014 Festival.
In 2014 I received a promotion to Past Provincial Deputy Grand Sword Bearer.
In addition to the lectures, my work has been published in Freemasonry Today, The Provincial and at http://thefreemason.com. My short stories and articles have also appeared in several non-Masonic publications and periodicals.
In 2018 I was fortunate to have two books published by Lewis masonic:
"I Greet You Well" https://www.lewismasonic.co.uk/i-greet-you-well-.htm
"Making A Daily Advancement" https://www.lewismasonic.co.uk/making-a-daily-advancement.htm
Further books and publications to follow.
I now present occasional masonic articles through my blog, “Freemasons are us!” at http://freemasonsareus.wordpress.com/ and at https://www.facebook.com/freemasonsareus.
