I originally became an ordained minister because I believe that life's most meaningful moments deserve to be recognized, celebrated, and honored. I have always valued the importance of human connection, compassion, and being there for others during both joyful and challenging times. I wanted the opportunity to help people celebrate love, commitment, family, and the milestones that shape their lives. I also appreciate the freedom to embrace individual beliefs and spiritual paths without judgment. For me, becoming a minister was a way to make a positive difference in people's lives and to serve others with sincerity, respect, and an open heart.

Originally, from Houston, Texas and now I'm in Buena Vista, Colorado,

I hope to use my ordination as an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I want to help individuals and families celebrate life's most important moments, whether that means officiating weddings, renewing vows, honoring loved ones, or simply offering support and encouragement when it is needed. I hope to bring people together through compassion, understanding, and respect for their individual beliefs. Ultimately, I want my ministry to be about service, connection, and reminding people that love, kindness, and humanity are values we can all share, regardless of our differences.

My spiritual background has been shaped by both Episcopal and Lutheran traditions, which provided an early foundation for my understanding of faith, service, and community. I have also had the opportunity to serve in church ministry through campus ministry, experiences that broadened my appreciation for the role spirituality plays in people's lives. Throughout my life, I have made a conscious effort to continue learning, exploring different perspectives, and expanding my understanding of spirituality, faith, and the human experience. I believe that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey and that there is much to learn from different traditions, philosophies, and individual experiences. While I value my Christian roots, I also believe in respecting the diverse beliefs and paths people follow. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, humility, and the belief that we can find common ground through our shared humanity.

I believe what makes a ceremony special is making it personal, genuine, and meaningful to the people at the center of it. Every couple has a unique story, and I want their ceremony to reflect who they are, what brought them together, and the commitment they are making to one another. I take the time to understand their relationship, their values, and their vision for the day so the ceremony feels authentic rather than rehearsed or generic. Whether simple and intimate or traditional and elaborate, my goal is to create a moment filled with warmth, sincerity, a little humor when appropriate, and genuine emotion. Above all, I want couples to walk away feeling that their ceremony truly represented their love and the beginning of their next chapter together.

I believe every person and every relationship deserves to be celebrated with respect, compassion, and an open heart. I offer a welcoming, judgment-free approach to ministry and understand that no two people, families, or life journeys are exactly alike. My goal is to make every service personal, comfortable, and meaningful, reflecting the beliefs, values, and wishes of those involved. Whether officiating weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, or memorial services, I want people to feel heard, respected, and supported. I am especially drawn to the beauty of Colorado's mountains and the opportunity to help couples create memorable ceremonies surrounded by the natural beauty of the high country. Ultimately, I see ministry as an opportunity to serve others, celebrate life, honor relationships, and bring people together.
