“Every year has been such a journey. I take every competition as an opportunity for me to enjoy the amazing people I meet across the Country in the large but small world of sand sculpting. I would not be here today without the support of my amazing family who shares the same passion in sand sculpting and the selfless opportunities given to me by several of the master and semi pro sculptors, most of them you will see here competing, coordinating, or on the board of directors for Texas Sand Fest. Getting to spend all day the sand over the years soaking up every given opportunity to learn from the best sculptors in the world is a true blessing and has been some of the best times in my life. Thank you to each one of you.”
