Reed sits down with District Rep Ty Schmidt. They discuss a variety of topics, from Ty's law enforcement career to the parallels of friendship & brotherhood between first responders and Freemasonry. Ty also shares heartfelt perspective and encouragement on how each of us can strive to serve the Craft while “being the change” in the world around us. 
Ty Schmidt joined Nelson Lodge No. 135 in 2017 and served as Master in 2023. He became a Monitor last year, and is currently the D.R. in District 9 (Metrowest).
