I believe that to be a complete person, it is important that one be actively involved in both community as well as career. I love to teach and to help other people grow in their own careers, a fact that is reflected in my various mentoring activities. On the personal front, I began playing the bagpipes at age thirteen and have continued my involvement in "all things piping" since that time.
