Thank you for visiting this website and for your interest in an intentional passage into the next chapter of your lives. This past year has been a whirlwind—one filled with growth, change, and deep gratitude. I’ve been humbled by all that has come to fruition, from completing my Ph.D. and moving back to my kulāiwi, to finding meaningful work in conservation and delving into the sacred practice of officiating.
My schedule has quietly filled with weddings, and I feel incredibly blessed to connect with so many beautiful lives and stories. While my work in conservation continues to root me in ʻāina and community, officiating has allowed me to fully embrace the spiritual and existential nature of ceremony and lifelong commitment. It has been a profound and unexpected journey—one I’m deeply grateful for.
I want to extend my mahalo to everyone I’ve had the privilege of working with, and to those I have yet to meet. I’d be remiss not to acknowledge my wife, Stephanie, whose unwavering support has carried me through every endeavor. She also happens to be the author of the first (and only) blog post before this one, offering thoughtful tips on writing meaningful vows.
Speaking of blog posts, I plan to share more here. Hopefully every few months. Some posts will offer practical advice for crafting a successful and meaningful ceremony (similar to Steph’s), while others will be personal reflections on relationships, marriage, and more general musings on life. The latter approach is how I once ran my research blog, and I’ve always enjoyed having a space to explore these thoughts.
Not many people may read these posts, and that’s okay! At its core, this is a place for me to reflect on the intersections of marriage, officiating, and the deeper threads that weave us all together. For those interested in working with me, these will give an insight into my approach on my work and life.
Mahalo nui for being here.
