My Wedding Officiant Page

I understand the challenge of finding just the right wedding officiant. Your wedding day is a BIG day, and it should be beautiful and fun! My wife and I had an amazing wedding experience May 26, 2001. Since then it’s been one of my passions to provide the same kind of experience for others.

A Little Bit About Me

I have been a pastor since 2004. In that time I’ve been a part of more than 385+ weddings. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from brides, grooms, and their families. And I’ve been voted “The Best of Weddings” from TheKnot.com every year since the beginning, earning Hall of Fame status.

I am the founding and senior pastor of Restoration Church,  a life-giving multiethnic church where people from all walks of life can find restoration with God and people, and be unleashed for fulfill their God-given potential.

I have been happily married to my wife, Laura since 2001. We have three sons (20, 18, and 16 this year) and a sweet princess (9 in June). We live in Germantown, MD, 20 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, mountain biking, working out, playing sports, and just about anything with my family.
