ABOUT ME

Leaning into my Scottish heritage I began playing the bagpipes in the late 1970s. I have been active in four different pipe bands over the years where I have played at Highland Games, Military Retirements, Holiday Events, Pubs, Burns Dinners, and various other events.

I am an experienced piper with both the Highland Bagpipes used for outdoor events as well as smaller versions know as “small pipes” or “firesides” which are used for indoor events and more intimate gatherings.

Upon retiring from the military and civil service I spent time traveling the USA and had the privilege of enjoying a stint living in Largs, Scotland. Eventually settling in Dayton, Ohio to be closer to family.
