…a little bit about me.
Let me start off by saying “Congratulations on your engagement”.
What a beautiful step in your adventure together and a wonderful declaration of your love and commitment to one another.
And now … the wonderful journey into marriage!
I’m sure it will be an incredible day of celebration, and I would be honoured to be a part of that celebration with you.
Personal Story
I was born on the east coast but from the age of three was raised in the Oshawa/GTA area.
I was involved in music from a very young age, playing in a Christian band with my two older brothers for a number of years.
In business, I worked my way up the corporate ladder to become a plant manager of a large uniform company in Oakville. But for the last 21 years, I’ve been in the not-for-profit sector; writing, producing and directing large scale dramas for a 2500 seat auditorium, and overseeing concerts, conferences and community events.
My Family
I am father to 2 incredible sons … one is a Pastor in the Oshawa area, and the other is a nurse practitioner in Toronto. I have two beautiful grandchildren … a seven year old granddaughter (going on twelve! LOL), and a five year old grandson. And yes, it’s true what they say about the joy of a grandparents strategy …”Spoil them and give them back!”
My Life Experiences
I’ve spent a number of years of my life focusing on music and travelling.
And I’ve succeeded in the business world, and the creative and dramatic arts field.
Now, in a brand new season of my life, I look forward to connecting with new friends, and sharing wonderful memories of a very special day in their lives.
My Interests
I love movies! Lots and lots of movies !!!
I guess that’s what sparks the dramatic fire for writing scripts and directing plays.
I play tennis three time a week, and enjoy golf as well.
And …five years ago I got my motorcycle license …
But more than that … I love people …connecting, sharing and doing life with people!!!

Craig did an incredible job officiating our wedding! The ceremony was heartfelt, personal, and exactly what we wanted. He was also a huge help leading up to the big day, making sure every detail was covered and that we felt confident going into it. His warmth and professionalism put us and our guests at ease, and we got so many compliments about the ceremony.

We had Craig as our officiant, and he helped make our day so special. He gave us confidence leading up to the wedding by helping us with planning (marriage license, planning the ceremony, etc.) and answering our questions promptly. Craig has such a positive demeanor, making the ceremony so natural and joyful. We received lots of compliments about our officiant and ceremony.

Craig did an amazing job officiating our wedding day. Craig connected with us consistently leading up to our special day to ensure everything would run smooth – and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our ceremony was sweet as well as had some humor which was perfect for our personalities and helped shake off some nerves, haha. He made us feel very comfortable and we knew we were in good hands. Following the wedding, Craig was even more kind to help in regards to getting our marriage license. I would recommend Craig 1000% - he provided the best service and we received non-stop compliments about him. Thank you so much!!
