A good friend of my oldest son asked me to perform his wedding ceremony and that's how I became an ordained minister.

Born and raised in Akron, Ohio and am currently living in Churchville, New York

Since being ordained, I have performed numerous wedding ceremonies for friends and family. I have also performed one family burial service at a cemetery.

I am a good practicing Catholic and before I was ordained, I had a talk with my church pastor who was not against me performing civil and some religious (non-Catholic related) services. I will not perform any ministry services in the Catholic church, but will perform in non-denominational churches.

I involve the participants as much as possible in the writing of their ceremony. This special day is about them and so I want them to make the ceremony their own ceremony. I only provide templates as guidelines and then they provide me with what they would like in their ceremony.

I enjoy hearing compliments from friends and family after each ceremony performed. That gives me satisfaction about my ministry role adding value to people on their special day.
