    • Enter the Haggis

      Oct 1995 - Feb 2001
      Bassist, Songwriter

      I played bass both in studio and at live performances with this group for six years. During that time, I helped write, arrange and produce the first studio album, "Let the Wind Blow High."Why is this relevant to my resume as a computer programmer and web designer? While in Enter the Haggis, I assisted in auditioning new members of the band, built and maintained the website, and most importantly, learned how to be an effective member of a creative team, focused on creating new music. All of these experiences have proven to be valuable in other positions or job functions I have had in the years since. Show less
