Sam Skinner - Proud Texas Tech Red Raider - 6th generation Texan was raised as an Air Force brat, living all over the world, among many cultures. The pipes found me at a young age, in of all places, Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Twenty-five years later I joined a Pipe Band.

A piper with over 25 years experience playing in two different pipe bands all over Texas and Oklahoma. Lived in Houston, Texas for 25 years. Tutored along the way by a few St. Thomas Episcopal Alumni Pipers. I began my Pipe Band experience as a drummer. Played every type drum in the band. Then decided to try the pipes.

Sam Skinner born in New Mexico started school on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, a few years later his family was transferred to Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Sam has sailed across the Gulf of Mexico several times, in the famous Regatta de Amigos sailboat races that started out of Galveston Bay. His hobbies include motorcycles, writing, and playing bagpipes with the Highlanders of Oklahoma City.

With deep roots in the West Texas and New Mexico ranching, oil, and western saddlery trades, Sam Skinner grew up hearing stories and legends of the West. His vivid imagination brought them all together in The Legend and Adventures of Bob Wire. Until he was about 13 years old, he only knew "bob wire", not barbed wire. you could say he has known Bob Wire all his life. He loves telling stories and hopes you will enjoy reading them just as much.
