I have been a non-denominational ordained minister since 1984. I have been married for over 25 years and have two lovely children. I was born and raised in Northern California and could never imagine living anywhere else.

I became interested in becoming a minister who performs weddings after attending countless dull ceremonies for family and friends. I was often bored to tears because the minister performing the ceremony was frequently a horrible public speaker. I'm not being mean... it's the truth.

With my background in public speaking and my willingness to perform in front of large groups, I took the plunge and have never regretted my decision. I absolutely love doing this. The atmosphere at a wedding is electric. Everyone is charged up and emotions run high. For most people it is the single most dramatic event of their lives. Having the opportunity to share in this most personal of moments is the best part of my job.

Nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing two people in love express their mutual devotion before their assembled family and friends. I consider it a privilege to be included in this theater of love and swear an oath of allegiance to do all that I can to make it all go smoothly. Over the past 25 years, I have married people from all walks of life. I have helped couples incorporate their individual beliefs, customs and preferences into their wedding ceremony.
