My Brothers,

I am deeply honored and humbled to have been elected to serve as your Senior Grand Warden.

I want to express my sincere appreciation in each of you for placing your continued trust and confidence in me.

This Fraternity represents values that I believe in—brotherhood, fellowship, and unity—and I am committed to upholding our shared values and working together to continue building a strong, vibrant Fraternity.

I look forward to collaborating with all of you, drawing on the wisdom of our past and the strength of our Craft to create a meaningful and impactful year ahead. Your support inspires me, and I promise to serve with integrity, dedication, and respect for the traditions we cherish.

Thank you once again for this incredible opportunity and together we will accomplish great things!
