I chose to become ordained when dear friends asked me to officiate their wedding. Knowing the value of love and commitment through my own journey, it was an incredible honor to stand beside them and be part of their story.

Though I reside in Oregon, my true origin is a place of unconditional love, kindness, and warmth.

To be called into the meaningful moments of others’ lives, where love is celebrated, and to hold that space with grace, compassion, and a spirit of unity.

God is the source of my love and respect for others. Whether or not I speak His name during your ceremony, He lives deeply within me—and His love shines through in all that I do.

It’s the love I carry into each ceremony, along with a deep understanding and appreciation for where each couple is in their journey. I recognize that this is their moment—one of the most meaningful days of their lives—and I am truly honored to play a small part in it. My role is to hold space for their story, their connection, and the love that brought them here.

I reside on the Oregon Coast near Newport, surrounded by breathtaking beauty—from the ocean’s edge to the tree-lined hills and mountain views. It’s a place that inspires connection, presence, and love.

I bring that same spirit into every ceremony, creating a space that feels genuine, meaningful, and uniquely yours. Your wedding day is a reflection of your story—and it would be my honor to help you celebrate it in a way that feels true to who you are.

I’ve spent my life sharing positive energy and care with others, and now, being able to marry couples is a new and beautiful chapter for me. I am truly honored to play a part in such an important moment in their journey.

If you want, I can blend this with your other answers to create a full, cohesive “about me” for your ordination profile. Please note:
