Additional Information
Growing up as the son of a Founding Pastor in the Church of God denomination & Special Advisor to the Chief Servant of an International Ministry, as well as the grandson of a Baptist Minister, I learned the beauty of having different religious beliefs and/or non-religious traditions. I believe that all marriages, despite a person's faith or those who don't practice a particular faith, are sacred, and deserve to be cherished & treated with the utmost respect & reverence. All are welcome, as I strive to cater to the desires of the parties who wish to enter into marriage, regardless of their gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation.
I was ordained by the Universal Life Church in 2020, and I am authorized to perform weddings in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Tennessee, Texas, The Virgin Islands, and Washington, DC.
