Among his longer jobs are a seven year, five night per week stint at the Norfolk Airport Hilton and a six year job at the Pavilion Towers Hotel in Virginia Beach.

In 2001, he was selected to perform at the Presidential Inaugural Ball
with the Charles Darden Group as musical director.
While Lawrence Welk star Tom Netherton was at the Williamsburg Music Theater (2002-2004), Skip was his music director, leading an eight piece group. He still occasionaly will fly out to do concerts with Tom.
These days he stays busy with steady work at the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club in Va. Beach and with his band, Skylark. (Available in anywhere from 2-8 pieces)
Skip plays a large variety of popular and jazz songs, along with some classical and country.
