The Best Pastor!

Josh is a great pastor and officiant! Despite our different religious backgrounds, he offered several templates from Christian to contemporary for the opening speech and curated it to be special for us. It meant a lot to me and my now husband that Josh took the time to learn who we are and incorporate that in our ceremony, it made our day feel even more special. Josh is responsive and answered our emails in a swift fashion as well as calling us to check in if we missed any emails. I highly recommend Josh if your looking for a professional and kind pastor/officiant!

Amazing Pastor

Josh is an amazing pastor, he was on time and attending to both my wife and I before the ceremony to check up on us. During the ceremony itself he made it feel personal and made our day special. From the poem to the quotes from our favorite pop culture series (star wars) he really curated our ceremony experience. He has a friendly deposition and always was approachable leading up to the wedding. I cannot recommend him enough.

I moved to NYC from Chicago about a year ago to pastor a progressive and inclusive church in downtown Brooklyn called Forefront.

Throughout my life, I have been exposed to a wide spectrum of thought as I have lived most of my life at the intersectionality of both the Christian and LGBTQIA+ communities, instilling empathy and love for people no matter their backgrounds or beliefs.

I have my Master of Divinity from Northwestern in Evanston, IL, and have been serving as a Pastor for over a decade now. I use to work as a DJ and wedding officiant performing weddings and then MC'ing the reception but now I enjoy focusing on curating just the ceremony.

I often spend my free time with my husband, traveling, attending dinner parties, binging Netflix, or a night out dancing with friends!
