I believe that that each 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 not religious, and I frequently perform ceremonies for couples with different spiritual backgrounds.
Like my father, a retired United Church of Christ minister, I have an open and welcoming spirituality. I work as a non-denominational Chaplain for Unity Services, a counseling firm in St Paul, and have been designing and performing wedding ceremonies for over a decade. I have now officiated more than 600 wedding ceremonies in the Twin Cities area, encompassing a wide array of faiths and situations. My experience and my knowledge of wedding sites and professionals in the Minneapolis and St Paul area make me uniquely qualified to design a ceremony that will be personal and meaningful for you and your family.
I was born in Mankato and raised in Hibbing and St Louis Park, Minnesota. My wife and I (and our two dogs) now live in the Lex-Ham neighborhood of Saint Paul, near Lexington and Summit Avenues.
New! The above photo shows my beautiful fiance and myself, right after I proposed in January. We just got married this month! My father presided.
I earned a bachelor of arts degree from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, a masters degree from Northern Illinois University, and then was ordained as an Anglican minister. Thus I follow in my father's footsteps, working as an non-denominational chaplain and ministering to diverse groups, always respecting their traditions and beliefs. For more than a decade, I have helped couples ensure that their special day is exactly how they want it to be, and I would love to do the same for you.
Proud member of PFLAG as well as the Association of Professional Chaplains.
