My instructors have been some of the finest. I currently take from Aaron Shaw, the West Coast Grade 1 solo Champion, and recently played in the Pasadena DooDah Parade as a member of his group, The Wicked Tinkers.

As of present, I am now only a solo player, just recently left The Spirit of Scotland Pipe Band, based in Mesa, Arizona, but plan to participate with them in non-competition gigs. They wear the hunting MacFarlane tartan. I compete at several Scottish festivals and have been taking awards in Grades 4, 3 and 2, the latest in Mesa, AZ. For more on piping contests, click here.
I am currently a member and instructor of the 42nd Blackwatch Scottish Regiment Pipe Band, which is just starting up. They are based in Covina, CA.
I play professionally for weddings, funerals, dinners and parties. My most memorable gig was when I played for the premiere of the movie BRAVEHEART at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
