- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process begins with a personal consultation to learn about your vision, preferences, and expectations for your special day. I take time to understand your story, discuss ceremony details, and answer any questions. Once we agree on the services and confirm availability, we finalize the booking and begin planning your personalized, Christ-centered ceremony. Depending on your selected package, this may include Scripture selections, prayer, ceremony customization, vow assistance, premarital counseling, and rehearsal coordination. Before the ceremony, we review the final details to ensure everything is organized and reflects your wishes. On your special day, my focus is to provide a warm, meaningful, and memorable experience while handling the ceremony with professionalism, compassion, and care. My goal is to make the entire process seamless, personal, and stress-free, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As an ordained pastor, I bring decades of ministry, pastoral leadership, spiritual counseling, and public speaking experience to my work as a wedding and memorial officiant. I served for over 20 years as Chaplain for the Sacramento Kings, providing spiritual guidance, encouragement, and pastoral support to professional athletes, coaches, and their families. My experience as an NFL Transition Coach for more than two decades further strengthened my skills in mentoring, counseling, communication, and navigating significant life transitions. Additionally, my experience as a Hospice Chaplain has equipped me with specialized skills in compassionate care, grief support, spiritual guidance, and serving families during life's most meaningful and challenging moments. These experiences, combined with my pastoral training and years of officiating ceremonies, allow me to approach every occasion with spiritual understanding, professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to serving others.
