History

Established in 2000.

I started playing the bagpipes because I loved the sound and wanted to compete in solo and pipe band competitions– I never actually thought of it as something I could do professionally.

There truly aren’t a lot of bagpipers out there and it can sometimes be hard to find one who’s available. In the early years I would just get random phone calls from people, who by word of mouth, had learned I played the bagpipes. This happened often enough that I decided to start piping professionally and advertising my services.

The beginning of my bagpiping career was neither epic nor inspiring– in truth it was quite random.

Near the small highland village of Gresham, Oregon, where I spent my youth, there was a Highland Games held annually. Each year my family and I attended the event and received a small dose of Scottish heritage.

I really enjoyed how bizarre and exciting the bagpipe sounded and decided to start taking private lessons. I was very lucky to have Mark Tomasetti as my teacher.
