I was fortunate to be provided the opportunity to experience the outdoors at an early age, and became
fascinated with wildlife. Hunting and fishing were natural progressions which ultimately led a curious kid
to attempt preserving creatures of all kinds....squirrels, pigeons, road-kill, it didn't matter. They all got
drug to my parent's basement to get "stuffed" on the ping-pong table.
I went on to college and received a bachelor's degree in Wildlife management and Law Enforcement.
I soon went to work for the Natural Resource branch of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers where I remained for 13 years. Too many years of
Government bureaucracy finally got to me and I abandoned that career
to start a new one doing something I loved to do all along. It was a
difficult decision, but one that has resulted in a satisfaction I could
never have thought possible. I believe my talents in taxidermy
have come from God, and I thank him everyday for a career I
love and for what he has provided for me and my family.
My passion for taxidermy
has only grown stronger
over the years and I
continue to learn something
new every day.
If you are reading all of this, you are most likely searching for a taxidermist. I welcome any calls
regarding questions you may have about your bird mount. My bird taxidermy is not a hobby or part time
job to earn a few bucks. I operate a full-time bird taxidermy studio. I have no employees.....although you
may get the pleasure of speaking with one of my kids or my wife when you call....they try to help out when
they can.
There are several artists that have inspired me along the way and I thank them. I feel fortunate to now
be giving back what I can as a contributing writer with Taxidermy Today Magazine. I am honored to have
had my mounts featured on the covers of 7 issues of the magazine.
