Scottish Armiger, Knight Commander with Star of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Fellow of the Society of Antiquarians of Scotland, and 47th Recipient of the MacNeil order of Merit. I am currently a Member of Council, the Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee and the Commissioner for Western New York.
My wife Nikki and I were “rescued” by our senior English Cocker Spaniel, Hershey. We love him! I have been successful in my career of managing large-scale IT programs. In my free time, I enjoy serving As a Lector and Eucharistic Minister at St Rita’s Roman Catholic Church, holding various leadership roles in the Knights of Columbus, traveling the world as much as I can, boating and sporting clays shooting. And I have a wee passion for the Uisge Beatha.
I love to meet new people and listen to their stories, and that’s why I love having a tent at the Scottish Games - it’s a great chance to learn about peoples’ sometimes complex family trees and to share the Clan’s history… both fact and tradition! I’ve met so many great people, both at the tent and in the Clan MacNeil Association, and we’re always looking for more MacNeils to share in the fun and to share about themselves.
Bi gu math agus le deagh dhùrachd,
