From Andy: An avid Halloween enthusiast, I have loved carving pumpkins since childhood, initially using the patterns in the Pumpkin Masters carving books before developing my own designs. In 2009, I created my first realistic pumpkin carving of Iron Man, sparking a journey of increasingly intricate and detailed carvings. My work has been recognized with a grand prize win at the Pumpkin Masters carving contest featuring a portrait of my dog, Sophie. Additionally, I’ve had the honor of creating multiple pumpkin carvings for Netflix Family, continuously challenging myself each year to come up with something bigger, better, and more fun!
