About Me

My name is Brian McLaughlin, and I've been a professional taxidermist since 1989, making that over 39 years in this profession. Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to creating lifelike, professional-quality mounts while continually refining the techniques that make great taxidermy. 

As the owner and instructor for over 22 years at the East Coast Institute of Taxidermy, my passion is teaching others the craft through hands-on, one-on-one instruction. With classes limited to just three students a day, every student receives the personal attention needed to build confidence and develop professional skills. 

Whether you're looking to start a new career or turn your passion into a profession, I'm committed to giving you the knowledge, experience, and confidence to succeed.
