He told Sue years before while doing taxidermy in Fairbanks, the Tok Fish & Game Area Biologist brought a 40" ram that was hit on the road to his taxidermy shop for mounting. Frank told Sue, "I want to live where 40" rams are along the highway." That spring after the fire, Sue went on a search, knocking on doors, then found the place they now call home since 1977. Each year Frank would sculpt a new piece while still doing his taxidermy. As more and more people purchsed his wildlife bronzes, he gradually moved from taxidermy to bronze sculptures. He conituned to sculpt many new forms for his taxidermy and later commissioned
Reserach Mannikins
to market forms for him. Today decades later Frank continues his passion in creating wildlife sculptures, traveling to shows across Alaska and the lower-48 to showcase his work. Frank also hold an Alaskan Class-A assistant Guide License which he helps Sue and Step-son guide hunters. Moving with the time, he is now using the internet including social media. Frank also has a
bird museum
of specimens from not only North America, but also Asia. Being self-employed all his life keeps Frank working. He loves sculpting because the pleasure it gives him. Frank says, "I won't retire, I'll just get tired."
