I first pursued ordination as a meaningful gift for my brother. His wedding was the first of our generation, and he wanted it to feel truly special. Within my family, I’ve long been affectionately called “the preacher”—a nickname born from my love of reading and writing, always with a book in hand or a journal nearby. This path felt like a natural extension of who I’ve always been.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY, but spent most of my childhood on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean West Indies. Eventually, I returned to the U.S. and have since made a home in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania. I currently reside in the northeastern region of PA.

My initial goal was to officiate weddings, helping couples mark one of life’s most profound milestones with sincerity and joy. But as I’ve reflected more deeply, I’ve come to see this ordination as an invitation to explore the broader responsibilities and possibilities of spiritual service. I’ve always felt a strong spiritual pull, and this journey has opened doors to better understand myself, others, and our shared place in the world. I hope to use this understanding to foster connection, offer support, and serve—whether in big moments or quiet ones.

I don’t currently belong to any formal religious tradition. I was raised Christian, but over time, my path began to shift. These days, I consider myself spiritual—curious, open, and still exploring. I’m drawn to older belief systems, especially pagan traditions, yet I find beauty and wisdom in many faiths. My journey is ongoing, guided by a desire to understand the sacred from many perspectives and to walk gently with whatever truth resonates.

Though I’m new to the practice, I bring a calm, grounded energy to every ceremony. My approach is thoughtful and easygoing, with a focus on honoring each couple’s unique journey. I aim to create a space that feels sacred, sincere, and deeply personal—where love is celebrated with clarity and heart.

I’m open to traveling when the circumstances are right, but I generally prefer to stay within my state or region. Staying local allows me to offer a more grounded, reliable presence while still being flexible when needed.
