I became ordained online in 2008 because I wanted to be of service to others in a meaningful way, particularly during important life events such as weddings and family funerals. Over time, I have had the opportunity to officiate several family services, which has been both an honor and a privilege. Although I had originally hoped to do this work more regularly, the increasing demands of my career made that difficult. Even so, my reason for becoming ordained has always been rooted in a genuine desire to help and support others.

Grew up in the Milwaukee area, moved to the Appleton area to raise our family.

What I hope to achieve with my online ordination is the opportunity to serve others in a meaningful and personal way. Whether it is officiating a wedding, helping a family through a funeral, or simply being present during an important life event, my goal is to bring care, respect, and sincerity to the occasion.

At its heart, my ordination represents a desire to help people mark important moments with dignity and purpose. It gives me a way to contribute something lasting and meaningful to others during times that matter most.

Yes. I am a Born-Again Christian, and my faith is central to my life and to the way I serve others. It influences the care, respect, and sincerity I bring to each ceremony. At the same time, I believe in meeting people where they are and working with them to create a service that is meaningful, respectful, and reflective of the occasion.

I believe what makes my ceremonies special is the care I put into making them personal, sincere, and centered on the couple. A wedding is one of life’s most important moments, and I do not treat it as a one-size-fits-all event. I want each ceremony to reflect the couple’s story, their values, and the meaning of the commitment they are making.

I also try to bring a calm and reassuring presence, so the couple can feel comfortable and truly present in the moment. For me, it is about creating a ceremony that is heartfelt, respectful, and memorable, something that feels authentic to them and meaningful to everyone there.

Beyond the ceremony itself, I try to offer reassurance, professionalism, and a personal approach. I understand that weddings and funerals are not just events, they are important moments in people’s lives and in the lives of their families. I take that responsibility seriously and work to ensure each service is handled with compassion, respect, and thoughtfulness.

My goal is always to help people feel supported and to provide a service that is sincere, memorable, and centered on what matters most to them.
