Beach Sand Sculptures Shovels up Records in 2014
Two Thousand Fourteen was a busy year for owners, Rick and Capri Mungeam, of Beach Sand Sculptures. During the cooler winter months the Mungeams and their son, Marcus, began the strategic planning to move Beach Sand Sculptures to the next level.
Capri sadly expressed, “It was heart breaking! During the summer of 2013 we regretfully turning away hundreds of families who wanted to experience SandCastle Lessons, because we physically could not teach any more lessons.” Rick leaned forwards to explain, “To meet the demand – we had to take Beach Sand Sculptures to the next level. We had to grow from owner/operators to employer/trainers”. It’s been a year of very steep learning curves for these entrepreneurs, but just as they have created a prominent Professional Sand Sculpting Company from mere sand and water, the couple rose to the occasion in 2014 as well.
