I'm a seminary trained and ordained Presbyterian minister. I have experience in church ministry, chaplaincy, and social service agencies. In other words, I have the credentials and experience to help you get married. That's the boring stuff.

The fun stuff is this. I really like my kids and my wife (whew, got lucky on those), Masterpiece Theatre on PBS (Downton Abbey and Mr Selfridge, yes!), college football (the Texas Tech variety is preferred), college baseball (wreck 'em), playing at the park (with or without my kids), eating good food (homemade, food truck, hole in the wall, or fancy schmancy), and bacon (try the Trailer Park Hillbilly Style at Torchy's Tacos and you will understand). 

My wife, children, three dogs and I live in Lubbock, TX. 

Maybe you're looking for a traditional, church style wedding. Maybe you'd like a small, intimate gathering. Maybe you need a little bit spiritual, a little more secular, a little something to make grandma happy, a little smidge to make your in-laws happy, and a lot to make you and your partner ecstatic. What ever you need, from backyard I dos to long center aisles in massive cathedrals, I can help make it all yours.

I want to know the people who are getting married, it helps me create a special moment for you. We can meet  as often as you need (within reason) via Skype, phone, email, text, and in person to plan the wedding ceremony.

I also offer pre-marital discussions to help the engaged couple prepare for married life. We discuss things like family of origin, communication skills, dispute resolution and more. And wether you decide to have these discussions with me or another qualified individual, I offer total package discounts.

Rehearsals are part of every wedding, period. I want to make sure your wedding day goes as planned, so I want to prepare right along side you. If you have a wedding coordinator, I'll do my best to work with them. If you don't have a wedding coordinator, I'll help lead rehearsal so that everyone is on the same page.

After the wedding I'll stick around for pictures, offer a helping hand if I can, and get the signed wedding license back to the courthouse to make you official. 

Q. Where are you located? Where will you do weddings?

A. I live in Lubbock, TX and will officiate at weddings anywhere. The farther from Lubbock, generally speaking, the higher the price.

Q. What about same sex weddings?

A. I'm game. Love it love in my book.

Q. What about non-religious weddings?

A. Sure. 

Q. What about zombie weddings?

A. Zombies are kind of scary, I'll think about it.

Q. What about services that aren't wedding related.

A. I can help with just about any event that should be marked by a ceremony or ritual. Funerals, births, vow renewals, moving into a new home, starting a new job, divorces, adoptions, you name it.
