With over 30 years of experience sculpting ice, I’ve competed in more than 50 international competitions around the world. My proudest achievement was earning first place at the World Ice Art Championships in 2009.
For a decade, I served as the lead organizer for Winterlude’s ice carving events, managing a $100,000 annual budget and coordinating large-scale public showcases. I’ve also contributed to the leadership of the Canadian Ice Carvers' Society, serving on the executive team in the past and remaining an active member today.
I’ve developed a one-of-a-kind workshop, available exclusively in Ottawa, where adults—and kids as young as 8—can safely experience the thrill of ice sculpting through my Anyone Can Sculpt Ice introductory program.
