I am an ordained non-denominational Minister. I have an open mind and a warm heart, and love to bring people together by creating a sacred space for their important rite of passage. It is my pleasure and honor to assist: interfaith, “spiritual but not religious” couples, same-sex couples, and those who want an open-hearted officiant, but not necessarily a lot of overly spiritual wording. My preferred personal pronouns are he/him/his.

​

I have been performing wedding ceremonies since 2016. As for my own faith, I would best describe myself as spiritual, but not religious. My background and travels have served as a spiritual exploration through various religions, exposing me to many different traditions, paths, and ideologies. You might want to adapt one of those for your ceremony.

 

My other life talents and experiences have included such diverse things as: serving in the US Navy overseas during Operation Desert Shield (where I was also a shipboard lay minister), building Internet companies during the Dot Com boom, serving as a state conservation officer, and operating my own small businesses.

 

I have had the sincere pleasure throughout life of working with many of the different aspects that make up my job as an officiant. Among them include: dealing intimately with people in highly emotional settings, writing, planning, and directing, and speaking and carrying myself professionally in front of a crowd. It is my sincere pleasure to ‘hold the space’ for you as you cross the threshold into your new life together.

 

In my desire to support you in making your ceremony exactly as you imagined it, I am open to being as involved or as non-involved as you’d like. I love to offer that little extra ‘something’ when I am asked or can tell that it is welcomed, but I am also fine with just doing my part and keeping things more closely aligned to your exact wishes if you’d prefer. To that end, I also offer 50 examples of vows and 25 examples of wedding ceremony variations.
