Rev. Paul Andrew Leonard (call him Andy)
It is so wonderful
to see the beauty of the couple's love as they say their vows to each
other and place the rings on each others fingers. As the tears of joy
roll down their cheeks I am so touched by the honor I feel for their
allowing me to be with them in this intimate moment. A heartfelt joy.Although Andy was born in Milwaukee Wi. At five months of age he was moved to his home town of Jackson Missouri.
In '84 Andy left the family business to open a more people helping therapy center in Southeast Mo. that would later move to Arizona and the state of Washington.
In his early college education Andy's Central Methodist College career was interrupted by a stint in the U.S. Navy. Upon his return he worked in a family business in Jackson and later received a BSBA from Southeast Mo University. After leaving the family business he earned a M.A in psychological counseling from Southeast Mo U and opened his practice in hypnotherapy ... The Center for Self Improvement.
His education was furthered by some course work at Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield and Sancta Sophia Seminary in Oklahoma.
Andy received his training and ordination from a fully chartered interfaith church during his residence in Arizona . This is not an ordination from a mail order or internet company like Universal life church that can be had for a small charge.
In 1999 Andy moved to the Seattle area where he was certified as a mental health counselor and continued his practice.
In 2004 he returned to Missouri to be with his family, renewed his ordination and began performing wedding ceremonies as an ordained interfaith minister.... He has since performed over 500 weddings in Missouri and Illinois, traveling as far south as Cape Girardeau and as far west as Rolla.
Andy's family is made up of three grown daughters and nine grandchildren...The lights and loves of his life.
