I am 26 years old and live in Statesville, North Carolina. I
have been doing taxidermy for over over ten years. My
interest began as a hobby at age 13, when I would pick up
roadkill and practice skinning and tanning the hides. At 15
I began selling small mounts on Ebay, and at 16 began
taking work from local customers and my business has
continued to grow steadily every year.
I enjoy anything that has to do with wildlife and the
outdoors. I love bringing animals "back to life" through
taxidermy, as well as going for walks in the woods and
observing the live ones.
About Amy...
I enjoy playing the piano and guitar. I have been playing the guitar for several years, but I have
played the piano by ear since I was three years old! I intend to eventually produce a CD with
some of my own piano music, which is heavily influenced by new-age artists such as John Tesh,
Jim Brickman, and Yanni. I plan to offer my CDs for sale through my website, with sound-clips
available for previewing.
I love shooting guns and hunting! I currently own a Remington 1100 12 ga. shotgun,
Remington 700 25-06, Mossberg .410 shotgun, Ruger 10/22 rifle, a Crosman 277 air rifle, and a
Bersa .380 handgun. I began with my airgun and then aquired my .22 (my first "real" gun). My
most recently aquired gun is my pistol, which I keep loaded in my shop at all times for person
protection. I also have a PSE compound bow that I used to kill my very first deer in 2004!



Another interest of mine is motorcycles. I
took the motorcycle safety course in August
of '06 and earned my license. From there I
bought a Honda Rebel 250, which is the
perfect sized bike for me. Robby has a
Yamaha V-star 650. I really enjoy the
freedom of motorcycle riding ... and getting
90 miles per gallon doesn't hurt either!
I have a wonderful husband named Robby. We were
married July 15, 2006. We have been hunting together
ever since we met and often go to taxidermy shows
together. People often think it's funny that our "first
date" was a gun show!
On April 14, 2010, I became a mom to a sweet little girl
named Lily. I have so much fun watching her grow and
discover the world! Even though she's just a baby, she
already has so much personality.. she LOVES touching
and looking at all the mounts in the shop.
