So you want to know more about me? I was born and grew up in Northern Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie near the world famous Cedar Point Amusement Park (America’s largest roller coaster park).
I joined a “high demand fundamentalist religion” when I was 17 and I went all in. While in the religion I had plenty of practice giving sermons and performing rituals including marriages and weddings. I also started a podcast that set out to help people within unhealthy religious systems and begin deconstructing my own. I turned that into a non-profit in 2014.
My wife and four children and I eventually moved to Southern Utah to take a job opportunity. While here, I grew the non-profit and we took on multiple podcasts, all designed to help people navigate unhealthy religious systems, process trauma, and to provide a healthy perspective and suggestions for the good life on the other side.
Today I work entirely within that non-profit and this service to our community is part of that. I deeply love diversity within humans and take great care to be compassionate and kind to every person; as race, sexual orientation, gender orientation, and any other difference should be honored and valued. Diversity is how we expand our awareness. It's how we fill in our blind spots. I have experience officiating weddings and performing marriages both within a religious system and outside of them.
I want to serve our community and I want to make the world a better place. I want humans to lean into authenticity and feel safe being vulnerable. I promise to respect and honor the marriage ritual you want to create and to provide a space where you feel celebrated. I want your wedding to be special and promise to help in any way I can.
I am ordained with both the Universal Life Church Ministries & the American Marriage Ministries, and am also registered with Washington County Utah to perform marriage ceremonies. I have spent over a decade studying myth, spirituality, psychology, and human development.
We also offer funeral, memorial, and graveside services. If you have any questions about additional services, don't hesitate to send us a text or call - (435) 229-7153
