Wedding Officiant of Chicago and Suburbs - Specializing in Weddings, Baptisms, Renewal of Vows, Commitment Ceremonies and Blessings of the Home and Business

I am the eldest of three children born in Chicago.  My family has always been very religious, I remember spending Sundays as well as holidays in church.  As a child, I found myself entranced during the services, I felt God's presence and knew this was my calling.

After High School, I attended the Seminary where I spent time studying to be a priest.  But after a time I felt that my life was going in a different direction, so I left the Seminary and sought a new adventure in my life.

Through the years, I always found myself ministering in some shape or form.  I've ministered to family and friends, co-workers and employees, as well as to people in need that I have just met.  I truly delight in serving others and it is my pleasure to minister to people during their milestone events.  I have been told that others find me personable, loving, compassionate, and kind.  To me, listening is a key part while I serve others.

During the journey of my life, I attended the Universal Life Church where I learned that I could fulfill my dream and become a minister of God.  My life is now full and blessed.  Now I believe that I am using the talent that God has given me.  I am able to join two people who are in love in holy matrimony, bless their new home and new arrival, council through challenging times, and help say goodbye to loved ones.

Through these years, I have also come across many ideas to share on how to make those special moments memorable.  Together we can work to create the perfect complement of elements that reflect your wishes.  My desire is to ensure that what I do honors you and those you love.

I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you.
