 About Absaroka Western Designs & Tannery,

I began my career with a B.S. degree in Natural Resources from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. GO HUSKERS! My love for the outdoors envolved a great deal of time hunting, fishing and trapping and I loved scouting, which I finally obtained the Eagle Scout Rank in 1978. Working with wildlife was going to be my future and I began by moving to Wyoming to work with the Game and Fish my second year in college. Finally convincing the University to pass me on enough classes to graduate, I continued working for the Game and Fish until 1988 when I moved on to operating a small hair on tannery on the banks of the Wind River in Dubois, Wyoming. The business grew into attending mtn man rendezvous and sportman's shows to historical lectures and creating costumes and props for western films, television and commericals. In 1995, a new showroom and large tannery facility was constructed in town and we became busier than ever creating western decor for home owners in the Dubois and Jackson Hole area and producing more and more tanned skins.

Today, we still operate the tannery and have specialized in tanning buffalo skins, many which come from the wild herds of western Wyoming. We create unique items for the showroom, including our rawhide lamp shades and rawhide baskets. I am still the scoutmaster and we have produced more Eagle Scouts per community size than anywhere in Wyoming, and I am very proud of that!
