Born and raised in Dalbeattie, Scotland in the heart of Robbie Burns country, I am a third generation piper. At 18 years old I was fortunate enough to take lessons from Pipe Major James Fraser of the Gordon Highlanders. I then competed as a piper in the Royal Canadian Engineers Militia, and BR.10 Canadian Legion where I was Pipe Major there for 3 years. I moved up to the 400 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Force, Grade 2 competition band. Finally, I competed with the Toronto Police Grade 2 Pipe Band from 1968 to 1988, and was the Senior Pipe Sergeant for 8 years. I have piped for the Royal Family, dignitaries and politicians including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Ronald Reagan - and for celebrities including John Wayne and "Hot Lips Houlihan". I now live in Orlando, Florida near Disney and travel throughout Central Florida to perform. |
