I believe that every person has a caring, warm, and generous nature, which is a reflection of God, who is also caring, warm, and generous. I embrace people of all faiths, as well as those who are nonreligious, and I frequently perform ceremonies for couples with different spiritual backgrounds.

Originally from Lincoln, IL, I have been in the St. Louis area since 2006. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in Winona, Minnesota, and a Master of Arts in Theology from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. In addition, I earned a Master of Divinity from St. John the Beloved Seminary in Cheverly, Maryland.

I am an ordained independent Catholic priest and pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Independent Catholic Church.
