about

Weddings intrigue me. They hold such meaning and power —  the commitment of two people, the feelings that bind them, the courage to proclaim their love to the world.

When I was studying for a Bachelors of Arts degree and then a Masters of Science in Public Health many years ago in Minnesota, I never imagined I would find such satisfaction performing weddings. That took me several more years.

First I headed west to San Francisco for law school. Then I practiced law for so many years that I found I wanted a change.

I sought to fill my life with enhancing and nourishing experiences. Performing weddings does that for me, and I’ve been doing so since 2007 in the Bay Area and beyond. More than 1300 weddings!

I am a marriage officiant licensed with the City and County of San Francisco.  I am also licensed through the Universal Life Church in Seattle.

My clients often say they are pleased with how personal and respectful I am with their ceremony. I hope we can make yours  just as special.
