To serve Cedar Grove Druid Order as Ordained Druid Priest, contribute to the general Pagan community, expand my current scope of practice as a minister and priest, currently ordained by the Universal Life Church, in a capacity officially recognized by both the Order, Pagan community, and other religious institutions.

I have experience as both a minister and counselor. I also have education that is equivalent to that found in  seminary training, and my CGDO Seminary/Clergy submission paper is available for perusal from the Grove on request. I am professional, sensitive, and client-centered. I have experience assisting clients to achieve goals, release unwanted habits, enhance emotional and mental abilities, boost self-confidence, and find peace.
