I have been doing taxidermy since 1974.  I am mostly self-taught but I have attended numerous seminars at the state, regional and national level. LEARNING and IMPROVEMENT never stops!  And although in the past I have done every aspect of taxidermy, I am now just taking in fish and reptile work.  I take pride in the taxidermy work that I do, constantly upgrading my work through current seminars and training.  A taxidermist's goal is to create or re-create what God has made.  In that respect I will ensure that YOU, my customer is extremely satisfied with your mounts that I finish.  I am very goal-orientated. I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Kansas State University in 1983 and my Master's of Art degree in Management from Webster University in 1990.  I served on Active Duty in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Officer for 9 years. I am a member of the Arizona Taxidermy Artists Association (ATAA) and the National Taxidermist Association (NTA).
