I started playing the pipes at age of five and was competing at Highland Games by the age of ten. In my first competition at Fort Erie Highland Games I took first place. The first band that I had the privilege of playing with was the Sarnia Legion Pipe Band, a band I still play with today. I also had the joy of competing with Penatangore Pipe Band, Kincardine for a season.

When not piping I enjoy swimming competitively, paintballing and football.

I would like to thank three pipers who have given many hours of their time. My first piping teacher, Cam Pritchard who was willing to start teach me at the age of five. The Sarnia Legion Pipe Band, Pipe Major Tom Rankin who when we moved was willing to give me many lessons and introduced me to the Sarnia Legion Pipe Band. The Penatangore Pipe Band, Pipe Major Terry Mills who not only encouraged and taught me in Sarnia and also introduced me to piping in a competitive band. Thank you for helping me become the piper I am today.
