With many years of experience, Craig has had the opportunity to work on a vast array of species, including all members of the Deer family,many different Birds and Mammals.

Craig is also known for his Cougar mounts as they really capture the essence of the cat! 

"Wow, Cats are probably the hardest animal to pull off and you do it beautifully. I've seen many great Taxidermists that couldn't pull off a cat, Unbelievable!" Shane B ,Taxidermist- Wisconsin

He has also been entrusted to work on several species from successful African Safaris which require different techniques!

Craig was trained in Fish Taxidermy by World Champion Rick Krane of Anglers Artistry learning advanced techniques that really show in his work. Rick was impressed enough with Craigs' work that he recently featured it in an article in  the World's foremost taxidermy magazine ,Taxidermy Today (Sept. / Oct. 2010)!
