About JTV Trophy Preserve

Hunting and the outdoors have always been a big part of my life. Some of my best memories have been made in the woods, at hunting camp, and fishing alongside family and friends. Now, as a father, getting to share those same experiences with my own family has made them even more meaningful.

For more than a decade, I've worked alongside my father, Mike, learning and developing the art of taxidermy. What started with our own trophies grew into pieces for friends and family, and eventually into a passion we knew we wanted to take further.

After years of building an established career in the HVAC industry, my wife and I made the decision to take a chance and build a future around something our family truly loves. That decision became JTV Trophy Preserve Taxidermy.

Today, JTV continues to grow as a family operation. I work from our Lapeer location, while my father operates from our Wellston location, with both locations working together as one shop.

JTV is built around quality over quantity. Every trophy has a story behind it, a first deer, a hunt shared between generations, a long-awaited trip, or simply a day in the field you'll never forget. Our goal isn't just to recreate the animal, but to preserve the memory that comes with it.

That's what Trophy Preserve means to us.

Memories captured. Trophies preserved.
