Welcome
I perform throughout Northern California at weddings, memorials,
parties, openings and ceremonial events of all types.
The sound of
the pipes
lends an elegant touch to any event whether somber or celebratory.
With over
30 years as a professional piper and a repertoire of hundreds of tunes,
I work
closely with clients to select exactly the right music for their setting!
Not all bagpipers sound the same. If you are
thinking of hiring a piper listen to him first:
