You never know when there's going to be a sudden need for someone who's ordained. Whether it's a wedding, baptism, or even a funeral, I wanted to have the ability to offer spiritual non-denominational guidance to those looking for it.

Originally from Rhode Island but I'm now living in Quincy, MA

I want to be able to offer my skills to anyone looking for a minister but not necessarily a denominational one. Churches and religious institutions often have so many laws and requirements that can make them seem discriminatory. With my ordination I want to be able to be someone that people looking for an ordained minister, whether it be for something as happy as a wedding or as dour as a funeral, can come to for help.

N/A

I've been to too many weddings where it is clear the minister is just plugging the soon to be married couple's names into a script. There's no character to it, no human touch, it seems just like words. In my pursuit of offering a better, memorable experience, I make it my goal to meet with the couple beforehand, get to know them, and create a ceremony tailored to who they are as people.

N/A

As a minister in the Universal Life Church, I truly do take my duties seriously. Just because I became a minster online, it doesn't mean I take my role any less seriously, in fact I put in that much more effort to prove the spiritual legitimacy of my role.
