OUR Faith Leanings

Spending the first 28 years of my professional life as a police officer then a private investigator, my stepson died suddenly in 2000 which led to an about-face in life and the subsequent call to Ministry.

Through my work in the community, it became clear that people just aren't interested in the church's traditional approach of being "preached at."

Taking that to heart, I reject the rote religiosity of “unworthiness” and embrace the more welcoming philosophy of spirituality.

Serving as a community Minister who respects all faith traditions, my professional body is the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry (CIMM), headquartered in British Colombia and sanctioned in B.C., Alberta, Quebec and Ontario.

I am also a professional member of the International Metaphysical Ministry (IMM) headquartered in Sedona, Arizona, with a robust community of over 9,000+ practicing IMM ministers in 120 countries and recognised since 1959.

I have been authorised by the province of Ontario to solemnize marriages since 2001.

SERVICES OFFERED

As a post-denominational Minister emphasising core Christian spiritual beliefs rather than specific, man-made doctrines, I respect all religions and spiritual paths, believing each serves a level of spiritual evolution, as long as their practices don't advocate harm to others.

As such, I am happy to present a service representing your family’s faith leanings.

Based in south Caledon, I’ve been a familiar figure across the region for the past 25 years representing many hundreds of families by solemnising their marriages, by honouring their loved ones in service and by christening their children.

Recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Health as a Spiritual Counsellor and trained as a Transpersonal Counsellor with an active practice in Caledon, I also serve people during times of life challenges when they need extra support, and am trained as an Instructor of Suicide Intervention.

part time passion

Teaching SCUBA for 25 years in Ontario, I earned the international ratings of Master Instructor (PADI MI #204,021) and Instructor Trainer (SSI IT#5774).

Having taught through Kanata Diving Supply in Ottawa, Waterline Sports in Toronto and as an owner of the crazy famous Happy Divers Den in Brampton, I reached expert status as a cold water Instructor with over 5,000+ logged Instructor dives.

Nowadays though, as Instructor Emeritus, I avoid (brrrr) cold water whenever possible and spend my wet time taking pictures of underwater seascapes in the Caribbean.
