ScrantonPiper

I am a Highland Bagpiper living in Scranton, PA with my wife and two children.

I began my piping studies in 1998 and progressed in record time to playing with the local pipe band. Piping came naturally to me, and before I knew it, I had a tremendous grasp of the instrument. My learning continues to this day, with top-level players/instructors, in order to keep my repertoire ever fresh and expanding.

My experience with the bagpipes allows me to have an instrument which is finely tuned to perfection, and as a result will sound pleasing to the ear. Furthermore, the same experience gives me the technical expertise to play a wide variety of tunes to the best of my ability, further enhancing the musical performance that you will hear.

By far, the biggest request I receive is to play the bride & groom out of their wedding ceremony. And while there are other options available at a wedding for playing the pipes, the surprise of a piper at the end of the ceremony is a big treat for all. I work with the bride and groom to get as many details of their day as I can, so I can make suggestions as to how the pipes can be included into their plans.

Funerals and memorials can be emotional to plan, and I take that into consideration when planing the details with the family or funeral director in order to make the bagpipes a fitting tribute.

Kilted attire is standard, but under some circumstances I have been asked to play in a business suit or business casual attire.
