I have been doing taxidermy since 1974.  I am mostly self-taught but I have attended numerous seminars at the State, Regional, National and World level.  Learning and improvement never stops.  I do every aspect of taxidermy.  I take pride in the taxidermy work that I do.  I will ensure that you are extremely satisfied with your trophy.

I am a member of the Arizona Taxidermy Artists Association (ATAA) and the United Taxidermist Association (UTA).  I have given seminars at State shows, the United Taxidermists Assoc (UTA) and at the World Taxidermy Championships.

I have had numerous articles published in BREAKTHROUGH Magazine.
*  Issue # 85,   Rattlesnakes, A Closer Look
*  Issue # 91,   Mounting  A Seamless Argus Monitor
*  Issue # 93,   Painting A Apache Trout Reproduction
*  Issue # 94,   Painting A Gila Trout Reproduction
*  Issue # 95,   Molding, Casting And Painting  A Desert Tortoise
*  Issue # 103, Mounting A Mojave Rattlesnake
