This past week I had the privilege of competing at the National Taxidermy Show, and I'm incredibly honored to have brought home 2nd Place (silver medallion) in the North American Division - Open Mouth Whitetail Category.
I'm beyond thankful and feel truly blessed. While the award is something I'm proud of, one of the best parts of the week was catching up with friends we don't get to see nearly often enough.
The taxidermy community is full of talented people who are always willing to encourage, teach, and inspire one another.
It was a great experience from start to finish, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to compete alongside some of the best in the industry.
Congratulations to all of the competitors and winners—I can't wait to see what next year brings!
Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way. It truly means more than you know.

Well, I’m finally getting time to make a post about attending the National Taxidermy Association. I made the 7 hour trip up to Peoria, Illinois in hopes of getting a gold medallion. The trip was a blast, and I enjoyed catching up with friends and making a few new friends. The last night of the event, during the awards ceremony, I got the privilege of hearing my name called, and got to go up on stage and receive a gold medallion, and was recognized as a National Champion. That was a moment that I will never forget. I couldn’t have done it without the love and support from my entire family and my loyal customers, thank you all.

Well I’m running a little late on posting but my family and I had a great time at the Kentucky Taxidermy Association a couple weekends ago. They was top notch taxidermist from all over there competing. I took a couple mounts and was able to bring home some hardware. I was awarded the Masters Best Open Mouth Whitetail, Best Native Kentucky Species, Best Original Creation, Masters Pro-1 Award and the Breakthrough Award. It had been a while since we had been there, but we are definitely looking forward to going back.

Hey everyone, since we are in the middle of turkey season I have a deal for someone. I have an eastern turkey breast mount that I recently completed for a customer that was never picked up. If you are interested i can sell it to you like this or you can even bring me a beard off of a recently killed turkey to put on this and it can be yours for only $450(this is a $650 mount) and I can have it finished for you in less than a month. If anyone is interested send me a personal message, thanks.

We had another great weekend at the NWTF convention in Nashville this weekend. Spent the weekend around some good friends that have become like family to us. I was fortunate enough to bring home some hardware as well, best of show masters of masters whitetail deer.

Thanks to everyone for their support and for challenging me to keep getting better. Also a huge thank you to my family who allowed me the extra time to put in on my mount and missing time at home. I’m already looking forward to next year.

Hopefully everyone had a good Christmas. Here is some recent mounts I have been working on.
