While studying, Gresham was selected to sculpt a scale model of the Raymond James Stadium for the Super Bowl XXXV “SUPERGUIDE” in January, 1999 in preparation for the big game in 2001. After completing the sculpture, Mr. Glover was asked to represent the United States at the Almere International Sand Sculpture festival in the Netherlands.

He has produced work in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Dubai, Germany, Holland, Latvia, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, the UK, and the United States. Some of the companies that Gresham has produced work for include, Siemens, Disney, Vestas, World Wildlife Fund, Rabobank, The Emirates Mall, ADN Empresarial, and Heineken.

The majority of Mr. Glover's early work was focused in Western Europe and in the winter of 2002 he moved his studies abroad after being accepted to the Royal Art Academy in The Hague, Holland.

The sand sculpture events were produced using a volume of over 12,000 tons of sand while ice events consume a whopping 275 tons of snow and ice. In a four month season, sculpture events normally average 140,000 ticketed guests.

Since 2009, Mr. Glover has shifted his focus to staying closer to his family while continuing to design events and work as Senior Illustrator for Marco Schaaf Illustration of Zurich, Switzerland.
