I grew up here in Phoenix. My dad was the sales manager for Crystal Ice, and I learned the ice business from him. I learned to do ice sculptures from my buddy Richard, and ice carving was my side gig for years. In 2017 I became the manager of Artistic Ice Creations and learned how to run a real ice carving business. In 2024 I have started my own company Phoenix Ice Crafters, from the ashes of my friends and mentors who came before.
