Who is this Guy?

More than anything, I love helping people navigate change in their lives.  I have dedicated my career to helping teenagers and their families find the success they are searching for. And working with students has kept me young!

Outside of work, I look to be creative in music and life. Ok, maybe a good nap on a rainy afternoon happens on occasion. Not going to lie there. But I want to make a positive impact on my community and my family. And hopefully yours too!

I love helping couples celebrate their love with their family and friends! And this seemed like a perfect extension of my passion after presiding over numerous graduation and awards ceremonies as a high school principal and school administrator. I love what I do! So much positivity, love, joy, and more during every phase of this creative process.

No ceremony should be boring! It can be fun, joyful, about the couple, and not something your guests need to muddle through to get to the reception and that slice of cake.

One of the great joys in my life is music.  I play the tuba and sing.  As I would tell my parents, playing the tuba keeps me off the streets at night!  The creative outlet of creating music and the challenge of getting better at it each day is something that has brought so much joy to my life. And I find that musical creativity also lives in creating and performing a great wedding ceremony for couples.  It is just so much fun!

Guy and David wedding in Orlando

My husband David and I live in Orlando with our two dogs Baxter and Bandit. We both believe everyone has a right and privilege to get married and pursue the life they were meant to live.

Guy did a phenomenal job as our officiant. He was professional and astute during the planning process and gave us great feedback and suggestions that made a difference. Our minds were at ease on the big day and things could not have gone more smoothly
