TOM

Tom has been a taxidermist for 40 years. His interest in taxidermy started in high school because he wanted to get some things mounted but couldn't afford it, and is self taught. Tom graduated college in 1973 and was hired on with the Kansas Dept. Wildlife & Parks as a wildlife biologist and taxidermy became a second full time job. After 33 years of service he took early retirement and became a full time taxidermist in 2006. He is a master taxidermist for the Kansas Association of Taxidermists (KAT). Some of his major awards received include: Best Gamehead, Best Lifesize Mammal, Best All-around Taxidermist, Best of Category, People's Choice, McKenzie Distinguished Taxidermist, and Safari Club, and numerous ribbons. Tom's favorite things to work on are big Lifesize mounts... We are a complete full time taxidermy studio located in the central United States in north central Kansas in the town of Wakefield...
