With over 20 years of coaching experience and 4 years of officiating, I’ve had the honor of guiding individuals and couples through some of life’s most transformative moments. My work is rooted in presence, humor, and genuine connection — because I believe deep transformation doesn’t have to be heavy, and celebration doesn’t have to be superficial.

I have been a Zen Priest since 2009, and have been officiating weddings since 2011. To everything I do I bring fifteen years of residential zen training at San Francisco Zen Center, including five years of intense monastic training at Tassajara, and many silent retreats. As a wedding officiant I am proud to have performed many same-sex marriages, and many of the couples I have married have been multi-cultural. I am often asked to wear my Buddhist robes for the ceremony, but that is entirely up to the couple. Ceremonies have ranged in size from the couple, me and the photographer, to much more formal settings for up to two hundred people.

I collaborate with the wedding couple to design and write a deeply personal custom wedding script and then coach their designated officiant to deliver it with ease and joy. After officiating over 600 ceremonies, I am now collaborating with couples to design and write their wedding ceremony and then coaching a friend or family member to deliver it with ease and joy. Over half the weddings in the United States are now performed by family or friends because it creates tremendous warmth and intimacy in the ceremony. However, asking someone to write and officiate a complete wedding ceremony can be overwhelming if they have never done it before.
