This is another installment in a series where we will introduce some of our members. These are the up-and-coming leaders of our Fraternity. These are men from all walks of life. Fathers, sons, husbands… and we all call each other Brothers. These are just some of the stories behind Denver Lodge No.5.

Meet Matthew Howze. We’ll let him introduce himself in his own words.

I grew in Washington state and followed my family to Colorado in 2009. I love the great weather and outdoor activities. In my free time I am usually working out, going for a bike ride, or just hangout with friends and family.

After working in the dental industry for 10+ years I changed careers and am now in architectural design. The change has been a fun challenge.

I joined Freemasonry for the Brotherhood, the history and the integrity of the organization and members. I could not be more happy with the support and lessons I have learned. 

Matthew has a great future at Denver Lodge No.5. We’re lucky to have him. Say hi to him at our next meeting.

This is another installment in a series where we will introduce some of our members. These are the up-and-coming leaders of our Fraternity. These are men from all walks of life. Fathers, sons, husbands… and we all call each other Brothers. These are just some of the stories behind Denver Lodge No.5.

J. Duncan Kish is Colorado native who grew up in Greenwood Village and attended Cherry Creek High school. He later graduated from the University of Colorado, Denver, with a B.S. in Chemistry. Duncan currently resides in the Golden Triangle neighborhood with his Fiancé and works in sales at a small Denver-based company.

Duncan has long been interested in Masonry, in large part due to his father, JD Kish, a Brother of George Washington Lodge No.161 in South Denver. Duncan was initiated and passed at Holland Lodge No.1 in Houston Texas back in 2016. But, due to fortuitous circumstances, he was able to relocate back to his home state where he can continue his Masonic journey at Denver Lodge No.5.

In his spare time, Duncan enjoys hiking the outdoors—often in Grand Lake, Colorado– relaxing with friends, and playing golf. His biggest passion, however, is flying. Duncan obtained his student pilot’s license when he was sixteen, and since then splits his time between the ground and the sky. He frequently can be found around Centennial airport on the weekends either flying or just watching planes.

Duncan always has a smile on his face and we’re excited to have him back in Denver!

Say hi to him at our next meeting.

Meet Kory Wilson. He is our Senior Warden for 2017 and a great Brother and friend. We’ll let him introduce himself in his own words.

I’m native of Colorado, growing up in the Denver metro area currently residing in Northglenn with my wife Delfina and two sons Amare (9) and Jadin (15). I have been an avid basketball fan for as long as I can remember.

I began my Masonic journey in 2010 at Denver Lodge No.5, and became a Master Mason 2011. In 2014 I decided to take my Masonic education a step further, and joined the Scottish Rite at the Denver Consistory, where I became a 32nd degree mason. Currently I sit in the west as Senior Warden.

In my free time, I’m usually at some body of water fishing or enjoying watching my sons participating in sporting events.  

Kory has a great future in the Fraternity and has proven himself to be a successful leader. Say hi to him at our next meeting.
