About
I'm a solo Scottish bagpiper based in Venice, Florida, available for weddings, funerals, memorials, ceremonies, and other events throughout Sarasota County and the surrounding southwest Florida area. After nearly three decades of piping — including service as Pipe Major of the Illinois State Police Pipes & Drums — I bring traditional Highland bagpipe music to occasions where the right tune at the right moment is everything.
- Pipe Major, Illinois State Police Pipes & Drums — 8+ years
- Piper, St. Andrew's Pipes and Drums — 20+ years
Whether you're planning a wedding processional, honoring a loved one at a graveside service, or marking a retirement, I'd be glad to discuss your event.
