Brendan

I chose to become an ordained minister because I felt a deep calling to serve others during life’s most meaningful moments. I have always believed that love, commitment, and remembrance deserve to be honored with care, intention, and respect. Being invited into these sacred spaces—whether celebrating a marriage, blessing a new beginning, or honoring a life—is a responsibility I hold with humility and gratitude. My purpose as a minister is to listen, to support, and to help create ceremonies that feel authentic, inclusive, and deeply meaningful for those I serve.

I was born in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Oregon, Wisconsin. I have since lived in two additional states and developed a deep passion for travel, experiences that have enriched my life and shaped who I am today. Exposure to different places, cultures, and communities has broadened my perspective and strengthened the values I bring into my ministry and relationships.

To use ministry as a way to strengthen connection, understanding, and compassion. To leave a positive, lasting impression on the lives I am invited into. To serve the Madison-area community with consistency, thoughtfulness, and heart.

Our vision is to unite couples through ceremonies grounded in love, faith, and intention, while welcoming and honoring all beliefs, traditions, and backgrounds. See more on our website: www.badgerstateministries.com.

Our services are offered at no cost, as it is a true privilege to celebrate your day alongside you and your loved ones; donations are graciously accepted but never expected.

Every ceremony is custom-written, rooted in listening, and thoughtfully designed to honor each couple or family—no matter their faith, background, or beliefs.
