Meet The Artists

Mike Allen – Pro Am “Championship of Champions” (2022 Winner)

Fireworks are a family affair and a fascinating subject for Mike, a backyard hobbyist turned first-place Sky Wars champion and one heck of a wonderful grandpa (or “BoomPa” in reference to the fiery flames that captivate his world.)

AJ Plata – Pro Am “Championship of Champions” (2021 Winner)

AJ is back for more! From childhood fireworks antics and a small-town-turned-annual-event show to Sky Wars Championship of Champions, our 2021 Pro-Am winner is ready to rock.

Scott Smith – Pro Am “Championship of Champions” (2020 Winner)
