Brother Joe McArthur was raised a Master Mason on August 9, 1993, and currently serves as Worshipful Master of Cape Coral Masonic Lodge #367. A retired member of the United States Air Force, he served honorably from November 17, 1980, to April 17, 2018, holding numerous leadership and administrative oversight roles, including First Sergeant, Air Transportation Manager, and Force Support Squadron Manager. His service included deployments in support of Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as multiple assignments throughout Europe.

For Brother McArthur, Freemasonry represents more than membership in a fraternity—it is a lifelong journey of personal growth, brotherhood, and service. He values the integrity, kindness, and mutual respect that define the Craft and believes the traditions of Masonry serve as lasting reminders to live honorably and support one another.
