Ironically, while directing a wedding at the historic Loretto Chapel, Santa Fe, NM. in 2018, the officiant had become ill. He made it through and luckily the couple was married. Afterwards I thought, in case this situation should every arise again I would be able to step up. I've created a spiritual ceremony that appeals to all, not seeking a religious format. My script is approximately 10-12 minutes in length and can be personalized for my clients.

I currently live in Santa Fe, NM. The United States Air Force brought me to Southern NM where I was stationed for four years as a Law Enforcement Officer. I fell in love with NM. After giving my service to my country, I was honorably discharged. I worked as a paralegal for the District Attorney's Office for many years. I retired and moved to Santa Fe, NM. I was hired as an events director/coordinator for the Loretto Chapel. Same skill set, much happier clients! I continue to walk, hike, and garden. I've never been happier.

Since 2018, I have met and married amazing people from all over the world. Who knew that moving to Santa Fe would lead me down this path uniting those in love. I offer my services to everyone and look forward to being a part of one of the most important days of their life.

I've often been told my manner is patient and calming. My focus is on the couple in hopes they de-stress and relax to remember every moment during the ceremony. Even though I have created a beautiful wedding script, it can always be tailored to meet their needs.

I live in Santa Fe, NM. I do travel to surrounding communities for an extra fee, depending on the mileage and if over night stay is necessary.

I offer two meetings in person with unlimited emails or phone calls. The first meeting I like to get to know the couple a bit, discuss their history and background; any additional readings, vows, or special features to be added. Give them information regarding the laws for a valid wedding in NM. The second meeting we will review the script for any changes and make sure they have made arrangements to obtain a NM Marriage License, if not already. They must provide two witnesses as required by law. I'm available for rehearsals too if needed.
