I have lived and hunted in Montana since I was 12 years old. My father was a self taught taxidermist in the early 1960's. My Father taught me about hunting and I skinned my first animal, a bear, at 12 years old.
At 17 years old I started guiding for a local outfitter and continued doing so until I became a professional taxidermist. In 1985, at 22 years old, I went to the Mountain Valley School of Taxidermy, in Phoenix Arizona.
My father started Montana Taxidermy in Big Timber, MT in 1981. I bought the business in 1985 and have been the sole owner and operator since.
