My Title Is “Reverend”
… but I would much rather you just call me “Jay”.
I guess I see myself as an ‘out-of-the-box’ seminary ordained minister who served 24 years at 3 wonderful churches (Michigan, Florida, and Colorado).
Now I have the great honor of serving as a full time wedding officiant for couples and families in one of the most important and happy windows of their lives here in North Carolina. It’s who I am; It’s what I do; and I love it!
I have lived in some really beautiful places, but doing life here in North Carolina is going to be hard to beat. I feel soooooo blessed to be standing with happy couples like you in one of the biggest moments of your lives. Let’s crush it together!
I’m so blessed to be married to my best friend, Becky. We spend a lot of time running, cycling, and having lots of adventures.
When we’re not laughing about silly things, we’re hanging with our two dogs, Cheyenne and Boone, and our cat, Mattie. I wish all of you could meet and know Becky. I’m so proud to be her husband. We feel so lucky to be doing life together here in the great state of North Carolina.
