ABOUT THE ARTIST

 

  
My love of the outdoors and artistry were united in 1993 when I attended The Pocono Institute of Taxidermy.  I furthered my education by attending workshops with some of the finest fish taxidermists in the United States.

I opened Bruch's Taxidermy in 1994 and in 1997 I changed the business to Bruch's Fish Taxidermy and began to work solely on fish species.

In the summer of 2005 I was hired to teach the fish course at The Academy Of Wildlife Art in Duncansville, PA.

Hard work and attention to detail have led me to a Master of Master's Certificate and many other awards.  The most notable are:
