Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by wildlife. I wanted to know all I could learn about the wild world around me, and the supremely adapted animals that make their living “out there.” Striving to improve my personal skull collection led me to begin preparing skulls for clients. I take a personal interest in every job, making sure the quality of preparation exceeds both your standards, and mine.
