bagpiping

Interested in the bagpipes, particularly the Great Highland
pipes?

I enjoy spending time as a duty piper first and foremost
with the Firefighters Highland Guard of DeKalb,
within our network of Fire Department pipers and drummers
in Illinois, Missouri, and NW Indiana, as well as with the
Chicago Highland Rifles

I’ve successfully instructed more than a handful of students
and continue to teach. I also have had numerous memorable
experiences playing at
weddings, parties, community events, and funerals.
I have even had the opportunity to speak to high school
history classes, park district day camps, and retirement
facility residents.

I feel strongly that when you contact a piper with a
request, they should be open to your ideas, able to offer
solutions and ideas if needed, and able to assimilate
themselves professionally into the ceremony.

I’ve always applied the above to any event I’ve been
involved in which is why I have collected many positive
references and testimonials, and plenty of return requests.
