Aaron Nordland has worked in the taxidermy and tanning industry from a very early age.  His family helped start one of the largest and best tanneries: The Wildlife Gallery.  Aaron's first job at the tannery was to shoot pigeons out of the barn with his BB Gun.   He then moved on to learning how to skin and properly care for trohpies throughout the tanning process.  The first step to having a great mount is having a great tan and Aaron's skills in this area are unparalleled.  Aaron has also worked as a motorcycle mechanic and myriad other hands-on crafts.  He started his taxidermy career with one of the best in the business: Verrips Taxidermy Studio.  He worked there for several years before coming over to Wildlife Designs.  He is an integral part of the business and does everything from answer the phones, to mounting whitetail deer, to skinning a bobcat.  Plus, he built his own tiny home out of a shipping container!
