I chose this path because I have always been interested in ministry, but do not particularly care for the staunch teachings of the traditional schools of thought which espouse fire and brimstone and only touch on the aspects of love and caring about one another if a person submits to traditional religious doctrine.

Originally I am from Pittsburgh, PA

I hope to be able to provide non-traditional guidance and spiritualism to a non-traditional audience in a world that has become non-traditional in many areas.

I have a wide variety of knowledge of various traditional world religions. I studied Catholicism, Islam, and general Christian denominations, and various Eastern religions until I chose to define myself as a spiritualist. I am also an academic with several advanced degrees in human services and educational areas of expertise.

With me, there is a no-nonsense, spiritual representation of me as an officiant. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are factored into my ceremonies, and I feel that the couple should have some minimal counseling and related problem solving processes before getting married.

I am located in Austin, MN, but travel around the state consistently. I also travel nationally from time to time, and will perform services in any state with advanced notification so that I can make sure that all the proper legal formalities are accomplished.

I am a highly educated member of the community who has a passion for doing what is right. I am passionate about the rights of individuals to love whom they love freely, as long as it causes no harm to them, their lovers, or the community.
