Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I became an ordained minister so I could support friends and family during important life moments and offer ceremonies that felt personal and meaningful.

Where are you from?

I’m originally from a small farming community in Iowa, a place where hard work, humility, and looking out for your neighbors were simply part of everyday life. Growing up in that close—knit environment shaped my sense of service and connection, and those values continue to guide the way I show up for others today.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

My goal is to create inclusive, heartfelt ceremonies—weddings, memorials, and other milestones-that honor each person’s story with sincerity and respect.

Additional Information

I’m a non—denominational minister who’s comfortable working with all kinds of beliefs, traditions, and ceremony styles. I’m open to religious, spiritual, secular, interfaith, and non—traditional arrangements—whatever feels right for the couple. My goal is simply to meet people where they are and help them create a ceremony that feels honest, welcoming, and true to who they are.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Oldsmar, FL wedding officiant?

I believe my ceremonies are special because I bring a warm, personal touch rooted in the values I grew up with in a small Iowa farm community—connection, sincerity, and genuine care for others. I take the time to truly understand each couple’s story and craft a ceremony that reflects who they are. I create ceremonies that are inclusive, respectful, and welcoming to all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, ensuring every couple feels seen and honored. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive presence so couples can feel grounded, joyful, and fully present during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
