About
Leaning on 25 years of experience, I bring a personal touch to moments of celebration and remembrance. I serve the local church as an ordained, non-denominational pastor creating unique experiences by using creative writing, music, video, speaking and the arts to tell stories that excite and inspire. I leverage these skills to tell the stories of couples and family members to create memories that last a lifetime. I create ceremonies that are inclusive and reflect your particular level of spiritual interest. I am also a father and husband. I’ve sought training to be a better communicator and more aware of why I react in certain situations the way I do. I seek to teach others these lessons too so that, together, we create healthier homes and families. I look forward to celebrating with you soon. Schedule an introductory call to start the conversation and plan a memorable occasion together.

Robert is an amazing officiant and we are so glad we chose him to officiate our day! We met with him prior to the wedding to discuss the ceremony and even then we were so glad we chose him, he’s extremely personable, has a wonderful personality, and truly cares. I’d highly recommend his 3rd tier ceremony option, the “love story” because it is extremely touching and great for when you don’t want to write and read your own vows but still want a personalized touch that expresses your love for your partner - sharing your true feelings for them through Robert. Another great component about booking Robert was his attendance at the rehearsal, it was extremely helpful in getting us and our bridal party prepared for what was to come on the big day. All and all Robert did an amazing job at our wedding and had the audience moved by his words recounting our love story, sharing our feeling for one another and had a lot of guests crying - as opposed to having a generic, straightforward ceremony with no personalization. Couldn’t recommend Robert more and so glad we found him to marry us and share our story!

Robert was the perfect guy to officiant us! He has a fun personality and made the whole process a breeze! He asks questions, implies them in the vows, and knows how to make words flow.. also, he adjusted to the style of ceremony we were looking for! Short(20minutes), sweet, intimate was our vision and he executed! We recommend Robert, 10/10!

Robert was the PERFECT choice to officiate our amazing day! We were at a family member's wedding that he presided over, and thought that he was so personable and genuine during the service, and that we thought he'd be the right person for our's. We were very happy when he agreed to do our service! We met with him prior to the big day and got to know him on a personal level, as did he with us, and we felt even better about our decision after the meeting was over. He cleverly incorporated what we discussed at our meeting in his service, and that made the day even more special and memorable! Everyone I have spoken to that was in attendance has expressed to me that our's was THE BEST WEDDING they had EVER been to, and I definitely agree, though I MAY be slightly biased. From the meeting, to the rehearsal dinner, to the service, Robert exceeded our expectations and was a huge part of making our day perfect!"
