My
background, biography, and faith
| Like
my father, a retired United Church of Christ minister, I have an open
and welcoming spirituality. I am an ordained Anglican minister, and
have been designing and performing nondenominational, interfaith, and
nonreligious wedding ceremonies for over a decade.
I
believe that every 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 nonreligious,
and I frequently perform ceremonies for couples with different
spiritual backgrounds.
I work
full-time as a wedding minister and ceremony designer
- 100% of my focus will be on you and your wedding to make
sure you have the wedding of your dreams. 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'd like to introduce you
to my bride, Julie!
We were married in April
'08
in a wonderful, touching ceremony,
in which my father presided. |
 Our dog, Chloe.
She's a very mellow old Rhodesian Ridgeback,
and a registered Therapy Dog.
My wife, Julie, volunteers with her at the
Veterans Home in Minneapolis. |

I was born in Mankato,

raised in Hibbing and St. Louis Park. My wife and I now
live in the Lex-Ham neighborhood of St. Paul, near Lexington and Summit
Avenues.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton College in Northfield,
MN, and 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 a nondenominational 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.
