DAVID Y. CHOE – JUNIOR WARDEN

The third most important officer in the lodge, David Choe was born in Seoul, South Korea December 4, 1971 but raised in the United States.  He became a full American citizen on July 4, 2006.  His early years were spent in the Queens, New York and later in Minneapolis/St. Paul. He is one of the many members who made their first contact with the lodge through this web site.  He started his Masonic journey in November 2003 and was made a Master Mason on February 21, 2004. He promptly became a very active and involved member. Worshipful Master Rob Pitre appointed to office as the 2004-2005 Chaplain, a position he held for two years before becoming Senior Deacon in 2006-2007.  On July 21, 2007 he became part of the elected line of officers as Junior Warden for 2007-2008 when he was installed into that office by Past Grand Master Sat Tashiro.

He is an outstanding photographer and provides most of the photographs for Daylight’s web site and lodge Trestleboard. As his work schedule permits he also does some photos for Grand Lodge.  An accomplished water color artist too, this talent relates to his profession; he is in an unusual field as he is tattoo artist by trade.  More than one Mason sports a David Choe tattoo.  He has had several exhibits of his photographs in different venue including the popular Crocodile Pub in Bell Town and a recent showing of watercolors was a sold out success.  As Junior Warden his biggest task is to coordinate the lodge’s yearly Honor Dinner for the Principal Players of the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra and even more importantly to see that the lodge members do not go hungry at meetings and other social events.  He is expected to see that they are always on their best behavior.  The members expect him to plan social events so they can have fun.
