I am a high level competitor in the SoCal area that has also traveled to the World Championships in Scotland and as such I am able to play at a High Level that will ensure you have no issues getting the experience you want. I also have experience playing for funerals and parties for several years. I know many tunes that can be contextually significant to whatever the occasion might be and I also am able to learn whatever tunes you provide.

I have played in many settings, from a recital with a virtuosic aspect, to funerals which require a certain emotional aspect to the tunes I play. You can rest assure that whatever the occasion may be, I can find a way to fill it. When it comes to planning, I make sure I can get an understanding of what is going to happen during the event such as when I should get there, If I will be able to warm up, where I would be standing, and how long I would be playing for. This way there will be no issues on the day of the event so things can go as smoothly as possible.
I picked up the Bagpipes when I attended Glendora High School and saw almost immediate competitive success beyond even that of my seniors at school. My piping career has only expanded since then with me joining the former world champion pipe bands Pasadena Scots Grade 3, and the LA Scots. Both bands are some of the leading competitive pipe bands in Southern California with LA Scots being one of the leading pipe bands on this side of the country. I also boast many prizes in the solo circuit here as well with having won aggregate solo competitor several times in grade 4, 3, and 2. Beyond all the competition, I have played many gigs ranging from funerals to weddings and parties and I have to say those events can be just as important to me as the competitions. I look forward to playing at your next event and hope we can talk soon!
