General Info
Since 1961 I have been going on fishing and hunting expeditions with my family. You can see through our photos that we carry on that tradition today. As an avid outdoorsman I decided to learn taxidermy in the late 1980's by attending an accredited taxidermy school in my home state of Pennsylvania. I tested for and received my taxidermy license in Pennsylvania and worked at it part-time. I won awards for some of the very first fish I mounted. It was then that I developed a passion for fish taxidermy and even today remain amazed at the vivid brilliance and beauty of the fish we catch. Several years later I moved west to Wyoming to enjoy the great outdoors of the Rocky Mountains. I became a licensed Taxidermist there as well. In July of 2011 I realized my lifelong dream of moving to Alaska. Although I have been a licensed assistant big game guide here for many seasons and visited many times, I am happy to make Alaska my permanent home and place of business.
