“ The job you did on my pedestal mount antelope was simply superb. It takes center stage in my foyer. This illustrates one of the true benefits your clients have when their outfitter is also a world class taxidermist who does the caping and mounting of their trophy himself.” Thanks

“ Twenty years after mounting my Desert Bighorn Sheep lifesize, Dan mounted my Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep Lifesize. Both mounts look great. Dan has mounted a variety of other animals for me and has just completed my recent Zimbabwe Safari.” Thanks Dan

Raised in Tucson, Danny grew up hunting and fishing in Arizona. At 13, he enrolled in the Northwestern School of taxidermy, a correspondence course out of an outdoor life magazine. With his Dad hanging over his shoulder, they managed to hang a few of their hunting memories on the wall. Eventually, he apprenticed with Jim Johnson, another local taxidermist, and honed his skills to a higher level. In 1986, Danny joined A.S.U.'s archery team, where he became a collegiate All-American and obtained a degree in secondary education. After becoming a physical education teacher in 1992, taxidermy began to fill those summer breaks and vacations teachers get. Spending countless hours reteaching himself the skills needed, Danny attained a level that has won him several awards at local taxidermy competitions and pleased customers that demand quality in their mounts. Being blessed with a beautiful family and the opportunity to hunt with good friends, Danny continues that quest for excellence and balance that we all strive for in our lives.
