Pippin is a musician and master craftsman – a true Renaissance Man. He has traveled the world playing music with avant-garde groups such as Idio Savant, The Orthotonics, Roof, Curlew, Tom Cora, and Nimal. He has also lent his craftsman talents to many local landmarks – Maymont’s Barn, Plan 9 Records, The Red Door Gallery, and World of Mirth.

As the parent of a former Sabot preschooler and middle schooler, Pippin has loved and cared for the school for a very long time. In addition to maintaining the campus is working order – no small feat on a 28-acre property with a 90-year-old house! Pippin works with GROW – the community garden project, and leads both the summer BUILD camp and our Beyond the Classroom’s BUILD workshops.

You may see Pippin around town playing music with the Ululating Mummies, the Happy Lucky Combo, and the Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra.
