Donald Crews is a distinguished author and researcher at Arcadia Publishing, where he has made significant contributions to the "Images of America" series, particularly with his title, *Cincinnati's Freemasons*. In this role, Crews combines his passion for history with his expertise in research and public speaking, bringing to life the rich narrative of the Freemason community in Cincinnati, known as the "Queen City of the West." His work is not just a collection of images; it is a meticulously crafted historical account that reflects the cultural and social impact of this fraternal organization on the city.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to Masonic research, Crews was honored with the R. Marion Snyder Award in 2016 by the Ohio Lodge of Research. This accolade underscores his commitment to leadership development and information literacy within the field. His ability to weave humor and engaging storytelling into his presentations makes him a sought-after speaker at public libraries and community events, where he shares insights into the historical significance of the Freemasons and their enduring legacy.
Crews's expertise extends beyond authorship; he is a dedicated coach who empowers individuals and teams to overcome career frustrations and realize their full potential. He understands that many workers are disengaged not due to a lack of passion for their careers, but because they feel unfulfilled in their roles. By leveraging his skills in Gallup Strengths and presentation development, Crews inspires others to cultivate a positive work environment where no one has to hate their job. Through his multifaceted approach, he continues to make a meaningful impact in both the literary and professional development arenas.
