Mike first began playing
pipes in 1996 with the Tara Pipes and Drums of Massapequa.
After a brief hiatus from the piping world, he joined
American Celtic in 2008.
His favorite tunes include The Balmoral, Going Home
and Itchy Fingers. Mike plays a set of Kintail pipes.
His favorite piping moment was making his public debut
at the Long Beach St. Patricks parade in 1998, although
watching Tom McCarthy chase after his chanter rolling
down the street at the Montauk parade is a close second.
Mike lives in Massapequa Park with his wife Kathy and
their three children Conor, Ciara and Liam. He is a
detective with the New York Police Department. Mike
also coaches soccer and enjoys a nice cold pint. |
