A native of Louisiana, Colonel Bourgeois is a graduate of Loyola University in New Orleans. He joined the Marine Corps in 1956 and entered The President's Own in 1958 as a French Hornist and arranger. Named Director in 1979, Colonel Bourgeois was promoted to his present rank in 1983. He retired from active duty on July 11, 1996. As director of The President's Own, Bourgeois was Music Adviser to the White House. He selected the musical program and directed the band in it's traditional place of honor at the US Capitol for four presidential inaugurations, a Marine Band tradition dating back to 1801.
