I have been playing the Bagpipes since I was 8 years old and have played with two bands, a local community band and a competition band, competing and playing professionally for the last 25 years.

When I was 10 years old I picked up my Grandfather's Bagpipes after a parade and that started my unique journey with the Highland Bagpipes. I picked up the practice chanter quickly and soon my Grandfather introduced me to his Pipe Band at the time so I could receive further instruction.

I have been playing the Great Highland Bagpipe for over 30 years. My mother's side of the family are from Aberdeenshire and as a child I'd spend a lot of time with my Scottish relatives and we frequently had holidays to Scotland where I would eventually grow an obsession with bagpipe music. My mother was keen to encourage me to play and managed to find me an excellent teacher .

I fell in love with music at a young age and have pursued it for most of my life. After starting piano at 8 and performing Acoustic Guitar at Irish Pubs by 14, I earned a Bachelor of Music: Commercial Music with a focus on Classical Voice and Classical Piano from Florida Atlantic University.
