Thank you for visiting my site.  My shop is located just outside State College in Waddle.  I learned the art as I grew up from my father who had a taxidermy business in Pittsburgh for more than 30 years.  When he passed away, I moved his shop to State College where I continue the practice today.  I enjoy it and it gives me an artistic release from my Faculty position, which pays the real bills.  I specialize in African work and have been on multiple safaris to several different countries.  On those trips, I’ve collect my own species and have taken countless reference photos and hours of video.  Feel free to browse the photos here or visit the showroom in person.  Hours are by appointment only.  For current prices, please call or email.  (Last updated: 19 Feb 2011)
