My life long love of taxidermy started at an early age, at age 6 I accompanied my grandfather to the local taxidermist and was hooked. The fire in me was put on hold until recently, a mere 5 years ago I decided I wanted to take a leap and start my own business, that is when Visions of Wildlife Taxidermy Studio was started.
I am a graduate of Missouri Taxidermy Institute in Linn Creek Missouri. To further this education, I attend 4 to 6 state and national taxidermy shows each year, which includes mini courses and seminars for furthering our knowledge in this field. I have competed from Texas, to Indiana, including competitions in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, as well.
I am a member of the Missouri Taxidermists Association, the Louisiana Taxidermists Association, The Texas Taxidermists Association, and the Oklahoma Taxidermists Association, as well as the National Taxidermists Association.
I am also an active participant in Hunt of a Lifetime as the Missouri Ambassador, through this organization, many terminal ill and disabled children are able to attend their dream hunt at no cost to their family.
I am a member of Realife Worship Center in Cassville MO, and active with my childrens sports and school activities.
Together with my wife who is a Middle school math teacher in our local school system, we are always available to answer your taxidermy questions.
