About Me

As a fully qualified celebrant, I've transformed my passion for connecting people into a meaningful vocation. My 44-year career in public speaking and community engagement has prepared me to craft personalized ceremonies with empathy, warmth and joy.

Personal Journey

I've experienced life's joys and challenges, including the births of my granddaughters, Orlaith and Olivia, and my marriage to Pamela. Charity events organized with my daughters, Claire and Colette, raised £30,000 for St Andrews Hospice, which cared for my late wife, Carol.

Life's Lessons

I've also faced adversity, losing loved ones, including my father John; first wife Carol; and my young brother Christopher. These experiences have deepened my understanding of life's preciousness and the importance of honouring milestones.

Celebrancy

I'm humbled to help couples celebrate their love through weddings and vow renewals. I'm equally honoured to support families in mourning, crafting heartfelt eulogies that pay tribute to their loved ones. This privilege reminds me that celebrancy is not just a profession, but a sacred calling.
