Marc Mangia
Ohio
Marc Mangia was born, raised, and live in Columbus, OH. At a young age, Marc started working with his hands assembling and taking apart anything and everything. As a teenager, he started working with his dad in the construction business as a carpenter, and he continues today working as a carpenter and running the business. After many years of playing in the sand, using his carpentry skills, talking with some of the Masters, and watching how they work the sand, Marc's love for sand sculpting has grown! In November 2012, he entered his first competition, where he placed first in the amateur division at the Fort Myers Beach American sand sculpting championships. He has several first and second place finishes in the semi pro division, and he plans to keep honing his skills, learning, and having fun playing in the sand!!!
