Masonry's Impact Upon My Life
The Stories that Bind Us
Rocky J Squirrel presents GEMS+H: The Stories That Bind Us.
Who am I?
I’m an inspirational and motivational speaker specializing in Genealogy, Education, Masonry, Stamps & History who has a passion for connecting the stories of the past to the lessons we can live by today. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and mentoring people of all ages, in classrooms, community groups, and beyond.
​
My lifelong love of genealogy has fueled my curiosity to uncover the lives of those who came before us, while my journey as a Freemason has deepened my appreciation for tradition, values, and the bonds of fellowship. That passion for history also inspired my thematic stamp exhibit, Freemasons in the Crucible of Revolution: My Family’s Story — a unique look at the American Revolution through the lens of Freemasonry and philately.
​
At heart, I am both an educator and a storyteller — blending history, personal experience, and inspiration to spark reflection and growth. Whether I’m sharing a powerful speech, guiding a discussion, or presenting an exhibit, my goal is simple: to make history come alive and to encourage others to find meaning in their own stories.
