was so advanced that he was invited to his first masters event just months
later. He entered his first World Championship in "96 where he won the
coveted Sculptors Choice award, being the first North American to ever take
that honor. He now holds 8 World Champion medals and more Sculptors Choice
awards than any other solo sculptor on the international circuit. Dan
constantly pushes the envelope with new ideas and strives for perfection in
human anatomy. Dan is one half of team Sanding Ovations and winner of the
