Meet the Dig Dig Family

From Billy:

I retired from a 40-year career managing trucking operations and started searching for something meaningful to do next. That search led me to build Dig Dig. 

I surrounded myself with family and started creating an experience we couldn’t find anywhere else. 

Early on, that meant building the SandMaster, the Hopper, and even the shovels used every day in our sandbox. Each one came from watching how kids play and figuring out how to make the experience more engaging, durable, and fun. 

That thinking carried into Dino Zone, where we developed custom kinetic sand tables and the molds we call Shapers. These experiences are designed to help kids use their hands, imagination, and problem-solving skills while they build, shape, and create. 

What looks like simple play is actually doing a lot — building confidence, strengthening motor skills, encouraging creativity, and giving kids a sense of pride in what they make.
