Nestled in Elmira, Ontario, Mary and I have embraced a journey that led us through Kitchener and Milton. Proud parents to Alex, a skilled Robotics Engineer, and joyous in-laws to Breigh since their June 2019 union, we savor family moments and global exploration. My professional path, forged from a Ryerson Hospitality Program diploma (1980), encompasses a dedication to serving people in hospitality and industrial customer service. Today, as a designated minister and seasoned public speaker with a focus on baptisms & naming ceremonies, I'm passionate about creating ceremonies that embrace and celebrate the diverse identities and values of couples and all inclusive families. Your sacred day, your chosen location—every detail matters profoundly!
