Throughout my ministry, I have focused on what is needed by the community and the families I serve, rather than plugging them into a ritual that may, or may not, have meaning for them.
        It is also my firm belief that a tangible sense of aliveness and spontaneity needs to be present at the most precious moments in our lives.
         These ideas have led me to create a form and style of ministry that brings meaning and spiritual depth to sacred occasions.

Birth Celebrations
I have performed hundreds of christenings and baptisms during my years of service at area churches. I have also worked with many families who wanted to celebrate the birth of their child but did not want their child "baptized" into a particular faith. I will work with you and your family to create a celebration appropriate for this joyous event.

Memorial Services
When not performing weddings, I work as a hospice Chaplain, where I serve the terminally ill and their loved ones. I am well acquainted with grief and how it affects us all. While a time of great loss, it is appropriate to celebrate the life of your loved one. I work closely with the family to prepare a service that is a testimony to the life that was lived.

Weddings
I officiate at weddings in Marin, Napa and Sonoma Counties. I will tailor the service to meet your needs, whether that be a traditional or contemporary ceremony with traditional or personalized wedding vows, while always focusing on the love that brought you together.
