DARRELL O’CONNER

    I live in Wilmington Delaware with my wife of 35 years Carol.   I have two sons Daniel (26) and John (22) who, until recently, spent every summer of their life in Dewey Beach Delaware.   From Monday to Friday I am a computer software consultant working with large corporations that use Enterprise Software from German Software Company SAP.    My summer weekends are spent in Dewey Beach where I’ve been playing in the sand since I was a teenager (many many years ago).   I entered my first contest in the mid 80’s in Rehoboth Beach and while I didn’t place, from that point on I was hooked.    I went on to win the Rehoboth Contest 9 times.   In 2013 I stopped competing in the Rehoboth Contest, instead opting to give free lessons the Friday before the contest and leading the creation of a Community Castle on the day of the event.

    Darrell is from Wilmington, Delaware and starting sculpting in 1985
