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.

Absolutely fantastic. Took the time to really get to know my now wife and I, and did an amazing job at our ceremony. Not only did we really enjoy working with Rob, our family was very impressed. Thanks Rob!

We hired Robert to officiate my dad’s celebration of life, and he did an incredible job. His pricing is very reasonable for the amount of time and care he puts into learning about the person he’s honoring. The speech was personal, thoughtful, and truly captured who my dad was.
He was punctual, professional, and very responsive throughout the entire process, which made everything much less stressful for our family. After working with him, I honestly wish I had hired someone like him for my
wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who is reliable and genuinely cares about their work.

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 made the ceremony so personal. I had my guests asking if he was a friend of the family. He was very professional and quickly responded when I had questions. I would give him 10 stars if I could!
