Steve Clarke holds the Guinness World Record for fastest pumpkin carving. The teacher from the Philadelphia area didn’t start carving until he was 30 years old but quickly found he had a talent for carving. Not only is he a speed carver he also creates works of art on pumpkins like Edvard Munch’s Scream and the Mona Lisa. He credits his pumpkin carving fame with making him a better teacher and providing opportunities his students might not get elsewhere.
