About Me

I have been playing bagpipes since 2006, and have been playing professionally almost as long. I have the most experience performing for funerals and weddings, but I have performed at events of all kinds. Check out my gallery or my Instagram for some photos from some of the events I have played at over the years!

Throughout the course of my piping career, I have been fortunate enough to receive instruction from some of the most influential authorities on piping. I have also served as an instructor for students of various levels.

Band Competition

I’ve also played with several other bands throughout my piping career, including:
