James’ Masonic journey began in May 2000 at Clinton Lodge No. 23. Today, he remains active in several West Texas Lodges and various York Rite and Scottish Rite bodies. In addition to delivering Masonic education and authoring books, he uses his professional and technical skills to develop websites, create practical solutions, and support the continued growth and operation of the Masonic bodies with which he is associated.
His interest in Masonry centers on more than tradition and fellowship. It is about understanding and applying the teachings of the Craft in everyday life—bringing together brotherhood, education, and meaningful action in the genuine pursuit of light.
