I became an ordained minister because I wanted to create a space where people could explore life's deeper questions openly and honestly, without feeling judged or pressured to believe a certain way. I was raised in the Southern Baptist tradition, attended Christian private school, and later studied theology. That foundation shaped me deeply, but life also taught me that people come to faith, meaning, healing, and understanding in many different ways. Over the years, my approach to ministry has become less about having all the answers and more about being of service. I believe sometimes people need guidance, sometimes they need practical support, and sometimes they simply need a safe place to think, question, talk, and be heard. I respect that we don't all believe the same things—and I don't think we have to. My goal isn't to convince anyone to follow my path. It's to meet people where they are, encourage curiosity and self-awareness, and help create space for greater understanding, compassion, and connection. For me, ministry is ultimately about how we show up for one another.

I am originally from Hampton, Va

I intend to use my ordination to create real impact—not just hold a title. My focus is on supporting people during pivotal life moments and offering guidance that is grounded, honest, and free from judgment. I want to provide an alternative to rigid or one-size-fits-all approaches to spirituality by encouraging critical thinking, self-awareness, and personal alignment. Ultimately, my goal is to help people navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and ownership of their beliefs.

My background includes being raised in the Southern Baptist tradition and studying Christian theology in an academic setting, which gave me a strong foundation in faith-based teachings. Over time, I expanded my understanding through exposure to other spiritual and philosophical systems. I do not identify with a single denomination, and I approach spirituality in a way that emphasizes openness, personal responsibility, and respectful exploration.

My ceremonies stand out because they are intentionally personalized and grounded in real connection. I don’t rely on generic templates or rehearsed performances. Instead, I work closely with each couple to shape a ceremony that reflects their relationship, their values, and their lived experience. The goal is to create something honest, present, and meaningful—where people feel seen, not staged.

I am based in Spartanburg, South Carolina and primarily serve clients in the local area. I am also available to travel for ceremonies and special events. For locations outside of my local area, travel is available with additional costs based on distance and logistics, which are agreed upon ahead of time.

Beyond ceremonies, I offer a more intentional and personalized approach to my work. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all services—everything I provide is shaped around the people I’m working with. I create a space that’s respectful, grounded, and free from judgment, where you can show up as you are and have your experience reflect that. Whether it’s a ceremony or guidance, my focus is on making it real, meaningful, and aligned with your life—not just tradition.
