AJ's Origin Story
My Story
I'm a 90s baby who grew up in London & Atlanta on a diet of N64 and playing in rock bands. I spent my time smoking pot and not doing what I was told. It was pretty sick.
At 19 I took my guitar and set off for the world. I volunteered and lived in Israel for 8 years. An enriching experience that inspired me into who I am today. I got the chance to live & work in rural Kibbutz communities, serve in the IDF, and rediscover my Jewish identity. A time of deep joy & pain shared with chosen family made along the way.
Age 27 was spent wandering, backpacking, and motorcycling around Thailand, Hong Kong, Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. I worked in a backpacker hostel, played lots of beer pong, and got to meet incredible people from all over the world.
28 was the year I came home to Colorado with a dream to live closer with the land. I have enjoyed my time making music, hosting community events, growing gardens, and falling into the weddings business. Check out this video of how I got into the industry.
Now at 36 I have my life's mission to own and operate a regenerative farm & wedding venue. My goal is to settle down and live close with the land, while serving my communities through good food & great weddings - but I need your help getting there!
"AJ was amazing!!! It honestly felt like he knew us personally. He did a fantastic job making the ceremony customized just for us. Our guests were so impressed with him as well."
"AJ was AWESOME! He was so genuinely excited when we met on our wedding day, all my family thought “wow I really like him he’s cool” he was my hype man and made sure things went smoothly!"
"AJ was amazing! He stepped in last minute when our original officiant got covid & nailed it! He was funny & kind! Thank you so much AJ! You made our ceremony perfect!"
