My motto is “CAN DO”
and as such I will tailor a unique ceremony to the occasion ensuring
that the ceremony reflects your ideals and visions.
Most importantly I
spend time with my clients to understand their needs and expectations
for the day along with being compassionate, understanding and
professional.
My experience as LAY
preacher and funeral celebrant will allow me to write an appropriate
ceremony for ALL occasions whether formal or casual.
Ceremonies I can
perform are Weddings, Namings, Commitments, Renewal of Vows, Funerals,
Scattering of Ashes, Boat Launchings, Home and Office Blessings and Pet
Funerals.

dreams.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in
Liverpool UK the eldest of four. With three younger sisters one of whom
I never saw grow up.
My mother was a
housewife and my father was an ice cream salesman. They brought me up
in a Christian caring happy home.
At fifteen I left
home to join the navy and when I left I was a Petty Officer in the
catering department, and then immigrated to Australia in 1968. I spent
29 years in the Security Industry before retiring.
As a Christian and
member of the Salvation Army I have been involved in community care as a
volunteer hospital chaplain and perform Church services once a month. It
was whilst doing this that I decided in 2001 to become a celebrant
partially due to being asked on a number of occasions to perform
someone's wedding but not being able to, but also because I was asked
often to perform a funeral for some of the Elderly persons that I
ministered to each month at the Elderly persons hostels.
I am married for the
second time and between my wife and I we have seven children (Three boys
of my own and two boys and two girls of my wife’s) and twelve
grand-children in all (Three on my side and six on my wife’s side) and I
am very proud of everyone of them.
My love and passion
is not only the Church but also music, singing, and the community. Hence
my conducting Church services once a month.
This will allow me to combine my passion as a Community worker and a
celebrant I will meet new people and be able to be a part of their
ceremony.
I am a person with fresh ideas for all ceremonies. Please feel free to
contact me. |
