Don was born in Dodge City, Kansas and raised in Emporia, Ks. He has been designing and producing a variety of wildlife art including a wide range of mediums since 1971 when he sold his first painting.
Don married his high school sweatheart in 1980, courting her through the winter months in muddy Kansas grain fields, watching ducks. Her support and inspiration have allowed him to pursue his dream in wildlife art. Since that time he has designed in mediums including, wood, clay, wax, plaster, pewter, silver, and gold. During the 1980's he participated in several National Woodcarvers Association competitions from Oklahoma to Idaho winning categories ranging from miniatures with his 2-inch cottontail to his popular hunting scenes. His passion in the outdoors revolves around waterfowling, yet his work ranges into fish and animals as well.
Before moving to Idaho, Don worked as a taxidermist. He uses that experience to build accuracy into every creation. He has over 150 designs being commercially produced and continues to design for a variety of companies including Design Impressions and Tanglefree Waterfowl Products.
