I first became an ordained minister online in 2019 when a close friend asked me to officiate his wedding. I was honored by his trust with such a request. Since then, I’ve had the joy of officiating my sister’s wedding, and her ceremony has reminded me how special it is to be part of such important moments in people’s lives. Becoming ordained opened the door for me to help others celebrate love, commitment, and connection in a way that feels genuine and personal.

I’m originally from the Midwest, where I grew up in Minnesota. The strong sense of community and genuine kindness of the people there have had a lasting influence on my values and the way I connect with others through my ministry work.

I hope to create meaningful connections and help people celebrate life’s most important moments with sincerity and warmth. Whether it’s officiating weddings, offering guidance, or simply being a source of support, I want to bring comfort, joy, and understanding to others. My goal is to make each ceremony and interaction personal, genuine, and memorable for everyone involved.

My spiritual outlook is inclusive and respectful of all paths. Through my connection with the Universal Life Church, as well as influences from Christianity and Rastafarianism, I embrace the values of love, peace, and unity. I believe that every faith and belief system has something meaningful to offer, and I aim to reflect that openness and respect in the way I serve others.

What makes my ceremonies special is the personal connection I build with each couple. I take time to understand their story, values, and what makes their relationship unique. I aim to create a ceremony that feels genuine, heartfelt, and centered on their love and commitment. I also bring a gentle sense of spirituality (focusing on the deeper meaning of unity, love, and shared purpose) so the moment feels both personal and uplifting for everyone involved.

Along with weddings, I offer vow renewals, baptisms, funerals, house blessings, and spiritual guidance. I aim to make each service personal, meaningful, and heartfelt. To help people celebrate life’s special moments or find comfort and connection when they need it most.
