In 2014, a good friend suggested I obtain the necessary accreditation's that would allow me to perform weddings in the State of Florida. Having been a public speaker for over thirty years, it seemed like a natural fit, so I took his advice and made it happen. Soon after, I  began noticing that almost every wedding my wife and I attended was non-traditional, and in most cases, performed by a wedding officiate, not clergy.

​

Some of the services we attended were officiated by individuals that were a little too focused on themselves, and not enough on the couple being married.  And some were just the opposite, uneventful and extremely dry.  

​

So I decided that the service I would strive to provide would be professional, warm, genuine, and  with  a touch of humor. In other words, a reflection of the couple being celebrated.

​

So I performed my first wedding at an outdoor venue in south Florida in 2015. Everything went exactly as I anticipated, except for one thing that I wasn't expecting, and that was how much I enjoyed it.

 

I realized that day that marrying two people in love wasn't a job, it was a privilege.
