From sagebrushed deserts to forested mountains, my favorite pastime is hiking and discovering what is just around the bend, or just over that mountain top.  In my spare time I "hunt" with my camera as well as my gun!

I learned the art of taxidermy as an apprentice for Lyons & O'Haver Taxidermy, and with Jerry Moydell of Moydell's Taxidermy, located in Southern, California. 

I specialized in birds in those early years, and later moved on to include large and small animals of various species.  I have won ribbons and awards in competitions in Idaho, California, and Colorado...just to name a few. My personal best award is the Rayline award for excellence in large mammal taxidermy which was won with a life-size black bear. 

I have several mounts on display in my studio, feel free to make an appointment to stop by and see the quality of workmanship that will go into your trophies.  I can help you decide which pose, stance & attitude would be appropriate for your trophy mount. While you are here we can discuss planning your gameroom.
