My name is Shelby Chandler and I am an Army veteran with 10 years of service and I hold academic degrees and certifications in Computer Science, History & Military Studies. I have 15 years of experience in Information Technology, but have devoted 20 years of my personal endeavors to History and consider myself a resource in the fields of Colonial American, Masonic and Military History specifically.

I am a member of the James Monroe Memorial Foundation, serving on its National Advisory Board and holding positions within this organizations as a Monroe Historian and the Park Superintendent of the James Monroe Birthplace Park & Museum. Additionally, I served as Master of the Fredericksburg Masonic Lodge in Virginia, which is the mother lodge of George Washington and home to two presidents and seven Revolutionary War Generals. As one of her historians, I have studied her archives which goes back to 1752 and deeply impacts American history, as well as Masonic history.

I serve on the Grand Lodge of Virginia's Committee on History since 2011 and the following year, the Grand Lodge of Virginia permitted the creation of the George Washington Lodge of Research No. 1732, where I served as its Charter Master. I hold affiliations in the Civil War Round Table of Fredericksburg, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite, Knights of St. Andrews, Knights Templar, National Sojourners, Inc. and the Royal Order of Scotland.
