| WELCOME OUR NEW BROTHERS DECEMBER 2009 
 | | BRO. ELI BAUMANN
I was born in Bemidji, Minn. in 1983 to Rodney and Holly Baumann. I attended school in there, graduating from Bemidji High School in 2002. I went on to attend Northwest Technical College for my electrical construction degree. I graduated in 2006 and moved to Mankato to pursue my career. After a year and a half, I chose to move to Saint Paul in search of more opportunities. In 2008 I started my company, Elite Drywall and Custom Painting.
Seeking more information about joining the Fraternity, I was pointed in the direction of a fellow brother, Reed Endersbe. As of now, I am progressing through the Scottish Rite and considering ways to become a part of the ritual work in the degrees at my Lodge. I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey thus far.

I am a 2004 Saint John’s University graduate and an Army veteran who hails from Minnesota. I just moved back after spending 5 years with the revered 1st Infantry Division as an Infantry Officer. Upon returning from combat and leaving the military, I sought the brotherhood missing from my life and found it in Lodge 19. I have since moved to Buffalo, MN. and continually look for opportunities to expand myself personally, professionally and spiritually while adjusting to civilian life.

I was born in Chicago, Ill. and will always consider that my home, though I’ve lived in Minnesota since 1984. I spent my junior high through college years in Winona, Minn., where my mother and father still live. I attended Winona State University and graduated with a degree in Economics and Business Management, now having lived in the Twin Cities since the 2000. Currently, I am a store manager for Apple computer in the Twin Cities market, based at the Mall of America location.
I found Masonry through my best friend and business partner, Bro. Trey Fortner, at Minneapolis Lodge No. 19. I have met some of the best people in my life yet and will continue to do so on this life-long adventure. My goals are to continue to change the lives of the people I love by bettering myself along my path.

I was born in Iowa, moved to California, Connecticut and finally settled in here in Minnesota. Learning about my grandfather’s involvement with the Masons, I became very interested in the history and culture of the Fraternity. I currently work as an investment banker for US Bank while completing my degree at Stout.
I enjoy football, hockey, skiing and spending time with my younger brother. I also love taking time to see movies and indulging my passion for history, it being a contributing factor to why I became a Mason. I look forward to learning more about my fellow brethren and my new lodge.
